As per previous note, this is such great value for money, and with a structure that will mean this should stay at this level for at least the next decade. It is a classic Cru Chablis with citrus and seashell, and a perfect balance and precision. The finish is particularly impressive. Serve at the cellar temperature.

This is such great value for money, and is delivering straight from the bottle. It is a classic Chablis delivering perfect clean flavours of citrus, and oyster shell with a honeyed palate, and all with exquisite balance. I was lucky enough to grab 4 cases of this from Costco London a couple of years ago at less than £25 per bottle all taxes included. Alas Brexit has put paid to that treasure trove going forward.

Seashells and iodine notes, lemon, quite voluminous and dense, nicely together and ready for business. Got this bottle as a gift at the domaine shop in Chablis when taking my usual cuvées Clos, Preuses, Bouguerots, Montée de Tonerre and Vaulorent. Never took this one, because of a stipulated missing tension. A real discovery!

Wow! Just found my new house wine. At $45 a bargain. Very clean and tight as a drum classic Chablis. With time it opens up nicely, healthy dose of stony minerality. Has plenty of upside too, nice bit of reduction with that steely texture and length of flavour that premier cru Chablis should have. No edges whatsoever and a steal compared to Raveneau and Dauvissat which are now nearly 10 times the cost. This was great value and an authentic premier cru Chablis. No oak as other have stated.
Will write a more detailed note later. Colour: pale straw, green tinge, bright, clear. Nose: Mod full, typical wet dog notes, ripe fruit, good varietal. Taste: light body, q assertive, still youthful, good fruit and acidity, long finish, v dry, acidity outweighs fruit. Overall, after an hour, this is opening up to be from an initially commercial wine to something serious. Compared to a Vocoret et Fils 2010 Montmains (see separate note).

beautiful again, right down the middle for those who like zippy / linear chablis... never really connected with Montmains but this vintage is a winner (especially for the price)

Very bright citrus, saline like the ocean on the nose. Lots of clean, mineral, zingy flavors. The main sensation is weightlessness on the palate rather than a standout flavor. Chalky finish.

Diam. Fabulous Chablis. Singing from the get go. Typical Chablis descriptives of lemon, brine, river rocks etc, and these flavours are balanced really well. Just a bit of texture on the palate, which adds some sophistication. Nice acidity and line on the palate - really fresh. Perfect for a summer evening.

This is just a classic Chablis in every sense. The nose is of wet river rocks, oyster shell, lemon juice, fresh cut green apple, and a hint of leesy bread dough. The palate is linear and clean, focused very clearly on the lemon juice and fresh green apple. The finish is medium in length replaying lemon juice and a hint of leesy bread dough. Both the nose and the palate are only moderate in complexity and intensity, but I really like the profile. The producer, vineyard, and vintage combine for an extremely classic Chablis expression. No discernible oak and restrained ripeness. I think this could gain in complexity as it ages, which I think should be attainable. This features a long diam cork which (fingers crossed) should hopefully prevent premox. Today this is a fairly subdued, though clearly calssically styled Chablis, that perhaps should only merit 91 or so points, but I'm giving it the benefit of the doubt that it will improve with age.

beautiful wine for sure, had a bottle of this a month or two ago and remembered (notwithstanding that I usually don't like Fevre's Montmains) that is was great... bought a case and so happy I did, this was bright / angular, with just the slightest rounding at the corners... on this night also plenty 'o minerals, with the citrus lurking but def'ly there... lovely mouthfeel, lovely white burg... '17 is really showing me some good wines

France and Italy - May 6 to May 10, 2019: Savory complexity on the nose. Notes of stone fruit, honeysuckle flower, lemon, crushed stone and spices. Richly layered and bright on the palate. Full middle. Refreshing acidity. Good depth and length.

2017 Bouchard and William Fevres (chicago, IL): The nose is nice and forward with tones of pears, white fruits, lemon peels, white flowers, saline, and crushed rocks. There is good balance and freshness but it lacks depth. The Medium bodied feel is balanced with crisp, high acidity. This is a nice premier cru, but it really lacks depth across the nose and palate and the finish is a bit short.

Heavy on the oak and it a difficult spot - needs time to balance oak and unfold the fruit flavours.
