WILLIAM FEVRE CHABLIS GRAND CRU LES PREUSES 2021 - white

Style: Rocks & MineralsWilliam Fèvre is one of Chablis’ greatest wine domaines, developed by the eponymous William Fèvre. JASPER MORRIS MWDON’T MISS – A deft application of wood frames the beautifully elegant nose of essence of pear, green apple, acacia blossom, lemon rind and a plethora of classic Chablis scents. The dense and unusually powerful large-scaled flavors don't have the muscle of the Valmur but they're finer, all wrapped in a massively persistent and even more complex finale. As good as the Valmur is, and it's wonderful, there is just a bit more here. BURGHOUNDWORTH A SPECIAL SEARCH - A faint reduction in this nose of scale – mineral, almost a little seashore. There’s extra depth – maybe 1 mm not 2, of richness. White flowers – perhaps more orange-blossom aromas. Again, this is a wine of scale – a little extra composure and even power vs the CdBouguerots. The minerality is more evident too. It’s also a great wine – but a very different style. The finish is ‘extra!’ BILL NANSON, The Burgundy ReportThe 2021 Chablis Les Preuses Grand Cru comes from 2.5-hectares split over two parcels. This has one of my favourite aromatics from Fèvre this year with superb delineation and mineralité. The palate is harmonious and poised, very focused and tensile, plenty of energy with a touch of lime and clementine towards the persistent finish. This is an outstanding Chablis that should age supremely well in bottle. NEAL MARTIN, VinousRegion: Burgundy, FranceVariety: ChardonnayABV: 12.5%Liquor Act 2007.
