Mid yellow. Some initial restraint on the aroma, then almond paste, sliced Granny Smith apples, wet chalk, lemon and mineral. The palate shows vibrant mineral-edged acidity, trademark richness in the mid-palate and good length. some development, but surprisingly youthful at 11 years old, there is a lovely wet chalk softness and saline feel that shows green apple and grapefruit. Good quality Chablis.

Much softer than I anticipated and didn't have the characteristic sharpness of usual Chablis. Interesting drinking The wine looks blonde colored. The legs are medium. There is no sediment in the bottle. It smells like melon. The body is light/medium. The wine has smooth texture. The wine finishes short. The wine has low acidity.

Before pre-moxification of white burgundies became prevalent, this wine might have been thought to be on the warm side due to vintage I assume. Increasingly every time I go to the cellar for a Chablis from Fevre these last few years I assume the worst is going to happen. Tonight this wine is singing on all speakers. Beautiful yellow color that immediately announces "I am not oxidized!" I love the nose . It's powerful and stony with mineral notes. It is persistent and bright. The mid palate fruit seems typical. Lychee, not quite lime but high toned and finishing with round soft maybe a touch of butterscotch finish. It surpasses all expectations and I hope my grand and premier cru's will be as correct as this. Drink up!

The best thing about this entry-level Chablis was that it was just starting to get signs of maturity - ripe apples and apricots on the palate, light sweet vanilla (although I am not sure it was aged in oak) and salty light sea weed nose. Mediumm (+) oily body, balanced with great acidity and medium length. The sweetness from the apples/ apricots could be more balanced, but overall a great value wine. Had it with rabbit! Cheers!

Clean orchard fruit nose. Palate initially shows lemon but quickly substitutes apple and nice acidity. Great balance and a very good standard Chablis. I wish this was the level achieved by more of the Chablis that turns up in some restaurants. Salut!

Cork. Nice, basic and very clean tasting Chablis. Makes a nice aperitif wine and can handle all manner of apetisers very well. Drink now and within the next 24 months.

Farge: Lys gylden. Duft: Smøraktig fatpreg, men også fruktig, litt blomster, mineraler og (frisk) sjøduft i bakgrunnen. Smak: Ganske rund. Fatpreget merkes her også. Fruktig og med en noe strammere kjerne bak det hele (=et visst lagringspotensiale?). Behagelig, rund og passe fruktig å drikke nå, men lite Chablistypisk, med "smørfat" frukt i frontsetet og sjø og mineraler et sted mellom baksetet og bagasjerommet. For mye polert, internasjonal Chardonnay og for lite Chablis. Dette ville nok ha vært "my favourite Aussie chardonnay", men det var altså ikke det jeg så etter. Etter 8 timers lufting har duften gått av seg noe av smørpreget og blitt mer mineralsk og litt sjøpreget, men fortsatt er smaken for fatpreget.

Hmmm. Clean and bright optic, but felt a little rich / flabby to me. Not the crisp refreshing wine I was expecting. Flavours of apple and melon dominate - I would prefer more of the citrus acidity to balance them up. Quite rich overall. Enjoyable but a step down from 05.

Nice and clean nose of green apple and minerals. Flinty palate with lemon, apple, and crisp acidity. Not light by any means, this has an underlying richness.

Very good minerality though the wine could use more gusto. Nicely refreshing with light straw over lemony notes. The minerality and overall profile make up for the lack of fruit expression for me in this price range. Plus this profile of Chard is much more in my wheel house.

This was served way too cold by the restaurant. I can’t blame them for keeping the open bottles at such a temperature but it never got a chance to warm up before I had it finished. The meal came too soon. It was tasteless, without much body but an appealing finish. I got the feeling this would show more if it was warmer. It was ok, went well with Asian flavoured tuna.

Pale colour. Very pure and mineral. Clean. Quite light and clean with a slightly soft, rounded finish. Good but probably ready before the previous couple of vintages?

I found this to be a bit sharp a few years ago and now it's a bit flabby. Strangely it seems to come together more on day 2.

Light golden colour. Nose offers up citrus, apples touch of honey. VG acidity and flintiness. Good fruit. Nice village.

Bit of honey on nose; sweet fruit on palate with minerality and slight greenness. Very good for the $$.

Tasty--and unmistakeably Chablis--but without the acidity and focus that I hoped for. The 07 is clearly a step above.
