    April 6, 2014 - Evident oak on the nose, and some strange, funky aromas. Concentrated, rich and fat.

    October 14, 2011 - Tasted in double-blind fashion at Vintage wines, with the bottle being provided by Rob Norberg. Medium gold and showing a promising nose of citrus, stones, vanilla and pear, it falls short on the palate due to a lack of acidity. The round middle is not saved by the medium-length, equally round finish. I was quite surprised (as were other tasters) when the identity of this wine was revealed. Drink now-12/13.

    February 22, 2011 - Med gold color and fresh nose for most of the evening. This MDT was a solid btl with the nice stone - lemon flavors you expect from Chablis. Maybe a little fat for chablis. Not sure this rises above a well aged AOC chablis. I agree with someone else who said Fevre is no Dauvissat. Its a couple notches down but solid chablis non the less. Fevre has been overpriced since the 05 vintage IMO. I have 4 more blts and I may start drinking them up as I detected a very faint hint of pre-mox towards the end of this blt. Paid $35, worth $ 20-25 IMO.

    January 3, 2011 - Oh my, was this wine in a great place last night. Golden yellow color. A splash of lemon on the attack, followed by solid minerality that merged into butterscotch notes on the finish. Incredibly long -- 45+ seconds. This is was great Chablis is all about. Being patient has been difficult, but it can be oh-so-rewarding...

    August 11, 2010 - Gray market-imported by Adventures in Wine. Medium yellow, no brown. Hard to put my finger on the exact problem here-maybe a little too much vanilla oak, maybe a tad oxidized, and even maybe a little corked. Whatever the problem, it's just off, a fact that is all the more apparent upon opening a pristine bottle of Sancerre as a replacement. What a fitting end to a long, bizarre relationship with 2002 Fevres, as full of ups and downs as many human relationships have.

    March 16, 2010 - I'm still underwhelmed by this. I fell for the 'experts' opinions suggesting that the Fevre wines were at the level of Dauvissat and Raveneau: I just don't think that's accurate, at least not if aging capacity is part of the equation. When the wines aren't outright flawed, they're a bit unrefined. With luck, they may reach very good (not that there's anything wrong with that), but I've yet to see one surpass such a level.

    February 3, 2010 - Very pale yellow, this gives off faint chalky aromas laced with quinine. In the mouth, this is missing just a touch of the richness and complexity that shows up in the Grand Cru that follow, but the weightlessness and overall balance are convincing. This bottle has that almost feminine delicacy and elegance that are the hallmarks of the best Montée de Tonnerre. In fine shape…
