January 16, 2024 - No detailed tasting note, but this was a lovely wine that I pulled out for an American friend visiting from France, bracing acidity mellowed by good fruit weight, with chalky minerality and a long finish.

January 16, 2024 - About 3-1/2yrs since my previous btl. Light green tinged gold color. Said to have been vinified in 50% barrel / 50% stainless steel for 6 mos prior to aging in only stainless. Citrus & seashore nose. A steely palate has rounded slightly & offering mineral infused citrus, stone fruit & iodine notes. Remains focused, precise & energetic but w/ some added finesse. 12.5% Alc. A slowly evolving classic that's fun now or age away! MTD is one of my favs from Fevre! The new long diam corks provide a hell of lot more confidence these might go 15-20yrs. See if I can hang onto my final '14 till 2030.

December 24, 2023 - Nose a tad reductive, lemon, grainy, pear, seashell, iodine, leesy. Palate has great acid, seems a bit of oak, lactic finish. Mineral strong. very structure. Were it not for the lactic finish, this would be among my top rated Chablis. The structure is immense, and it still retains incredible acidity.

December 2, 2023 - Needed air to blossom, the Fèvre wines are all closed with quite hermetic DIAM corks, which slows down the in-bottle riping process.
Apple, lemon and iodine, a pure Chablis, straight and long.1 person found this helpful Comment -
