February 9, 2024 - Still very youthful and needs at least 5 years, for my palate. After being open for a day and then a decant, lemon/lime on the nose and following through on the palate. Still has so much development in it and with a diam closure, will go for many years
January 13, 2024 - Evolved since the last one I had in 2022: citrus, iodine, some apple. The acidity is well integrated and much less pungent. Nice density and length. Pnp, drank it over 2 hours, good from the start. Maybe a quick passage into a carafe (2h?) could be beneficial.
October 30, 2023 - From magnum. Medium yellow color. Tasted fairly mature but not over the hill. Good roundness and acidity.
This was actually one of the few DIAM era Fevre wines I’ve had that showed some evolution. Not necessarily a bad thing though!
April 10, 2023 - Amazing mix of a smooth fruity Chablis with a ton of subtle complexity. Great wine!
February 16, 2023 - Cela faisait longtemps que je n'avais pas pris un Fèvre dans la cave, sans doute à cause d'une série apocalyptique de 2008 complètement oxydées...
C'est parti pour ce Côte Bouguerots 12, qui est issu d'une partie très pentue du grand cru Bougros.
Belle couleur paille à peine teintée par l'évolution, voilà qui rassure. Direction la carafe pour 2h pour faire disparaître une pointe de réduction.
Belle aromatique typique chablisienne, avec une pointe d'évolution florale, très légèrement miellée.
Bouche dense, fuselée tout en tension mais sans agressivité.
Très belle finale saline, impactante.
Un régal à table, ça va être difficile de ne pas enchaîner sur les autres !
October 1, 2022 - Iodine, lemon and apple. High acidity, pretty restrained after opening, needed air. Opened (a bit) after two hours, very good length, but not a lot of meat on the bones (until now). Still very young.
September 18, 2022 - Forget the farmyard. Go straight to the forest. There is good news and bad news about this wine. And the good news is the bad news: they are coterminous. It has taken three days for this wine to lose its fat and reveal the structure behind that fat. The flavours are all there: lime, green banana, subdued butterscotch, but it is the structure, the balance between fruit and acidity, that makes this a truly great wine. And Fevre and their team do this time and again. Wonderful.
September 17, 2022 - An enormous but subtle wine. Great green lift on the nose; palate has depth and some acidity. But at the moment, there is a certain fatness there that detracts from the overall structure of the wine. This is a wine that probably will be best in farmyard (where decadent fatness rules the roost), but it is not there yet. The quality of the wine is indisputable.
August 14, 2022 - Pale yellow. Fresh, bright saline flavors. Intense acid. Restrained fruit - green apple and lime. This tastes young and will get better. I can’t imagine trying to drink this even 5 years ago.
April 20, 2022 - from Magnum
seashell, underripe fruit, very pure and great typicity. for those who want chablis from their chablis.
