Scores

Pale yellow-green color. Crushed stone, lime oil and ethereal white flowers on the nose. Wonderfully elegant wine combining serious richness and density with terrific grip. The white peach, spearmint and spice flavors are complicated by a soil-driven saline minerality. Finishes with superb grip and dusty length. This is two-thirds Chapelots and one-third Pied d'Aloue, the former providing fat and the latter minerality, according to winemaker Seguier. Grand cru suavity and complexity here. - 92-94 points Stephen Tanzer

Tasting Notes

A terrific right bank site next to Blanchots and Les Clos which produces powerful and complex wines. Real depth to the fruit, which also shows a little more richness than some of the cooler sites, but there is great energy and verve on the finish with a classic gunflint character. Drink 2012-2018.

ProducerDomaine William Fèvre

William Fèvre is one of Chablis's most respected domaines and is credited with putting this region of Chardonnay vines, WIlliam began purchasing parcels of the region's Premier and Grand Cru vineyards that had fallen out of fashion. He quickly grew the estate to an impressive 50 hectares and established a fine reputation for his white Burgundy. He retired in 1998 and sold the estate to négociant Bouchard, who installed Didier Séguier as winemaker. See More
