I am a bit of a scratched record in lauding the virtues and relative affordability of Wiliam Fèvre in a highly priced white Burgundy market, but once again this is a winner. It still has a high level of acidity and is going to improve, but with a couple hours of aeration it is already singing. Citrus and stoney notes are prominent with a razar sharp palate and a spectacular finish.

First night it was super reductive and needed over 30 minutes to blow off. From there in great balance. Didn’t drink any the 2nd night. 3rd night it’s still singing, with a wonderful arrangement of minerality and citrus confining in a lingering finish.

Tasting pretty delightful. Awesome scents of rocks and limes and a texture that I’d say is still developing. Lots of salty, refreshing green-ish notes like lemongrass, green apple and honeydew melon. The acid is still kicking so I think this has some more years to go.

On the first real sunny spring day, time to celebrate with a white wine, with this great Chablis Grand Cru. Developped beautifully, fresh and sweet with a nutty and buttery character. Drink up in the coming 1-2 years.

High acid even after cellaring for a bit. Very dense and complex in aroma as well as taste. Delicious and very well received by the group. Would buy again.

Last tasting in July 2018, this wine was clearly too young and closed, now it is superb. The acidity was tamed into now being nicely fresh, and the typical Chardonnay characteristics are very clear, buttery and nutty, with a long, slightly sweet finish.

Very strong acidity - the structure - and relatively dry. Nose is limited with an underdevelopped palate. Would suggest to keep this for 2 more years. Maybe then a higher score.

Nice vibrant acidity. Lemon and green apples. Round mouthfeel. Very enjoyable
