Having 2 x 19 Fevre GC’s now (19 Preuses being the other) the quality of the vintage is without doubt – and there is merit to some early peeks, but put these to sleep for a while. A little of the 6 year old barrel is felt on the surface, warm sourdough bread and a touch of richness. But readily beneath this is a foundation of minerals and all other geological delights. Hold.

This has really tightened in the last 6 months. It intensely chalky and razor sharp. There's a suggestion of citrus and it is compact, deep and long. It has fabulous cut and will be something special when it unfurls.

Chablis Grand Cru - the Jewel in the Crown (Hong Kong): Cote Bouguerots is a 1 hectare lieu dit within 15 hectare Bourgos climat. Belongs to Herriot Champagne. Bougros derived from Latin word Bucca meaning mouths of the river and refers to a narrowing of the river Serein. Soil is clay and marks with Kimmeridgian. Wine is aged 14-15 months in stainless & used oak barrels, 5-6 months on lees.
1 hour slow oxidation in bottle. Nose of citrus, green apple, retrained minerality, perhaps a little tastiness. A little apricot and pineapple indicates that the fruit captured the sun. Palate very ripe but balanced fruit & acidity indicated well placed soil vis-a-vie the sun. Buttery and smooth with a crispness. Reasonable finish.

Green fruit including guava and cucumber. Glycerol and a bucket of salt on the palate. Very good and largely in character for chablis but it makes me think that the chalky, slightly phenolically underripe chablis (ie of 04,11,14) might be a thing of the past

Clear light gold Bright tart apple with thick mouth coating extract bordering on oily. Quite impressive and very drinkable at this early stage, but I’d hold.

These 2019 Fevre bottles are quite spectacular, with the Côte Bouguerots showing smokey reduction alongside classic Chablisien notes of iodine and lemon pith. Dense on the palate with a bit of weight for a Chablis, time will improve.

French white wine from Chablis: Chardonnay. 13 % alcohol. 50 - 60 % of the harvest is vinified in oak barrels with an average age of 6 years, the rest is vinified in small stainless steel vats. Aged for 14 - 15 months, partly in oak barrels for 5 - 6 months, on fine lees, and then in small stainless steel vats.
Decanted for 1 hour.
Light golden/greenish color.
Crisp and delicate aromas of brioche, green apples, peaches, lemon and strong minerality. Fresh and crisp flavors of green apple, lemon, brioche, peaches and minerals.
Dry. Medium body. High acidity. Perfect balance. Great structure. Some complexity. Very elegant.
Long finish with lemon, brioche and minerals.
Outstanding quality. Crisp, pure, airy, elegant and structured. The wine improves during the night and is just as good when fridge cold as it is when it reaches room temperature. Excellent with food (bao buns) and on its own. Will age beautifully. 97/100

The nose is smoky mineral central. It has a faint suggestion of citrus and mint too. It is super intense and linear, with a fine sheath of glycerol protecting the gums from all of the sharp geological things. Chalk, flint and citrus repeat on the very long finish.

Chablis Domain Visits-Louis Michel, Pinson, and William Fèvre (Chablis, France): Yellow. Medium weight. Salt and vanilla flavors, lemon in the background, puckering, stony finish. Not a huge wine but young and bracing. I loved this. It outpaced the 2020 version by a mile.

Clean profile, a little orange blossom, vicous texture, and a little softened, kind of reminds me of a 15 with its blousy character

Again just a touch waxy on the palate. With good cut.
