No worries about premox or TCA here - or even just old age. I would have no clue that this was 20 year old Chablis. After more than an hour and this is still opening - I think it will be better tomorrow. Classic Chablis profile here - lemon, some spice, dusty minerals, dusty pollen and a bit of white florals. Lots of lemon and tart on the palate, also salty and a bit nutty. The residual of the oak is here and well integrated now - gives a bit of brown and depth and a touch of round into the finish. The finish starts off w the brown and lemon and the brown fades out so that you end up with the lemon and salty minerals. So this isn't flawed at all - and it is very good, but it, at this point, doesn't have the complexity or depth of the Les Clos or Preuses. Maybe it will open more tomorrow. Nose - 5/6, Palate - 5/6, Finish - 4.5-5, Je ne Sais Quoi - 1/2 = 15.5-16/20.
This improved on day 2 but I lost the note I took :(. from memory - now this has developed a beautiful green-menthol-herbal thing that really gives the nose a depth when added to the lemon-minerals-golden palette. More complete and balanced now. wonderful. 16.5-17/20.

Still holding on.. No signs of premox or even what would be considered normal aging for a 16 year old bottle of Chablis. A slight swirl brings out the minerality we expect, the texture is beautiful and rich without any loss of focus. Could perhaps go another 2-3 years but probably not more

No formal note - just got the end of the bottle. This isn't classic Chablis, but it is good White Burg. It's got some minerality and some lemon, along with deeper notes and some thicker or creamier things going on in the mouth. Definitely some mint and herbal notes along with honey, white flowers and nectar. Maybe a bit of butterscotch and some shells? This had nice breadth and complexity. 16/20.

This bottle was spot-on delicious! Pale yellow, crystal clear. Fresh and vibrant with a little cheese rind on the finish. I was not expecting much having poor experiences with 2000 Fevre Bougros but a nice surprise - a wonderful bottle.

Pale yellow green. It was a bit reticent on first pour, so we aerated this for 30 minutes before drinking. It is hard for me to describe how good this Chablis was. Aromas of lemon, slate and verbena. On the palate, wonderful intensity with the salinite and focus we love, and then a strong, long, mouth coating finish. This bottle could have gone on for a long time but is perfect now. A great match for fresh grilled Mediterranean sea bream with tarragon and bay leaf (thank you New Deal Seafood).

This is stunningly gorgeous. Pale gold; a complex nose you could just sit and smell all evening; pure and intense, and very long finish that goes on for 45+ seconds. This is a wonderful wine of utter class. Like a Rolls Royce it does everything with ease and every facet is beautifully composed and in harmony. A lovely wine with another 2-3 years ahead of it on this showing. Over the last 12 months I have had this alongside the 2000 Bouguerots and Les Clos and it is clearly operating at a different level. A complete wine. Tasting notes from colleagues below seem to indicate this wine has had a chequered career, so maybe I have just been lucky with the two botlles I have had, but they have both been memorably brilliant. Estimated maturity: 2008-2015

No warning that dinner was about to be served, so it was a pop 'n pour. Too bad, because it really needed to be opened at least a half-hour before starting on it. I was a bit worried at first, almost seemed to have some premox but with strong citrus in the background, so I figured it would open up; must have been some reduction, because after a short while it started to blossom. Anyway, this has the citrus, structure and acidity of a young wine, along with the depth and complexity of an older wine. Minerals and lemon/lime, and the texture is really lovely. Excellent.

Last bottle of this and a fantastic one at that. Light yellow. Ripe stone fruit, lemon cream, fresh cut flowers and some sea shell. Magnificent weight and texture with strong lemony acidity rushing in at the end to bring it all to a stunning finale. Rich enough to make one think of Cote de Beaune, but at the same time, unmistakably Chablis. After so many disappointments from Fevre, this bottle delivered all of the promise that the 2000 Grand Crus showed in early tastings.

Vibrant, clear, light straw color. Aromas exploded into the room on pulling the cork. Distinct chardonnay nose, glycerin, burnt sugars, salt, esters, citrus, and some butterscotchy background notes as well. Not at all what I expected from a Chablis! Later - peat, smoke, more defined lemon/citrus. A mid-nineties nose, and this is only in the first 5 minutes. Huge amounts of complexity. I could let this waft up my nostrils all night. A brilliant balance of sweet, ripe fruit, and dry, acid-oriented, high-toned character. I believe Allen Meadows calls this "lifted." This certainly is. There's a strong etheric quality to the multi-faceted nose on this one. The palate falls a bit short of the nose however, and shows a subtley ripe and bold attack, a delicious fruit-laden mid-palate, and medium long finish. Beautiful, ripe, chalky Chablis. No taint of any kind. The only quibble is that it seemed to steadily fade after opening, so maybe this is more evolved and ready than I originally thought. Allen Meadows' maturity window seems right on - gently declining over the next five years or so.

After pouring 6 bottles of 2002 white Burg down the sink, it was a relief to find this 10 year "oldie" in perfect health, especially since Fevre does not have a great track record regaring premox. This was a youthful beauty, though, cristal clean and pure, full and mildly minerally and lemony. Vibrant and energetic. More about Burgundy than Chablis. Excellent and may yet improve if it isn't destroyed by the pox.

Still pale in color. Somewhat muted nose of good Chablis aromas-chalk, brine, and citrus. Picks up a bit of intensity with air and some texture but then rapidly fades. Nothing wrong with this; it just seems like a rather faint echo of Valmur's potential.

I am gradully starting to understand Chablis after decades of ignoring it in favor of whites from the Cote d'Or. This Valmur is in terrific shape and ready to drink for my palate. It's like grapefruit juice on steroids with vitamins and minerals so not very complex but deep and somehow stylish. Just the right amount of acidity; juicy but not sour.

Having trouble keeping hands off the 2000 Grand Cru Chablis. The color was pale green-yellow. After some aeration, at first we got wet stone but then lemon and herbs (someone said lemon verbena, another peppermint). Imagine a popsicle with a center of stone, with iced, salted lemom around it. Somone pointed out how often I relate smells and tastes to those from childhood--there must be a deeper meaning there, just don't know what it is. Great definition, and a finish without end. Wonderful with a simple grilled halibut. We vowed to wait at least a year before opening another bottle--I've recorded it here to see if it happens.

Fantastic showing for this wine. Fresh and just tons of energy - not a hint of the pox. Smells of the sea and iodine, as it should. Drives across the palate like a truck with citrus, fennel and seashell minerality. No real barrel notes to speak of but it had the depth of a wine brought up in neutral-ish wood. Only one nit - maybe just a little too "correct" and clean. But that is just looking for something to complain about. Just a hair off the best from Raveneau and Dauvissat but Fevre has been more consistent for me than Dauvissat. Great wine.

Impressively pale and green. This was all Chablis right from the get go, no excess weight or fat here. Crystalline clarity of lemony acidity, herbs, and sea shell. Only after several hours in the decanter did it begin to show any secondary honeyed notes atop its chalky core, and the body fleshed out ever so slowly. Fantastic freshness and breed tonight, much less evolved than a bottle consumed almost a year ago. Great crescendo of flavors once in the mouth, like a time bomb with a slow fuse going off. A very successful and reassuring look at a 2000 Grand Cru. In proper form (as this bottle was), it potentially has a long way to go.

I love the saying "there are no great wines of Burgundy...only great bottles." That was sure true with this wine. I opened one and it was oxidized, and I was very disappointed. The cork looked perfect, so I thought that it might not be a problem with the cork. I hesitated opening another because this wine ain't cheap, but I did it anyways. The second bottle was beautiful, and nothing like the first. The wine jumps out at you with wet stone and tropical fruits, and finishes off with a long finish. Still a little austere, this wine has years left...so no hurry.

Cona Thanksgiving 2007; 11/20/2007-11/23/2007: Very enjoyable Chablis. Color is light yellow with a tinge of green. Palate is brisk, light and refreshing with loads of minerals and crushed rock.

A Few Burgundies (Nopa, San Francisco): Very light yellow with glint of green. Started out rather fat and sweet, but tightened noticeably as it warmed, becoming more satisfyingly Chablisien while retaining a round, full bodied feel. Young with potential, and overall, excellent, but it suffered in comparison to the laser-like focus and intensity of the Dauvissat Forest opened next to it. Recently, I have had several bottles of Fevre that seemed too woody, but there was no evidence of that problem here.

Well, no way does this show any hint of oxidation... it is very young and, I think, pretty closed. Reticent nose of shells, flowers, grass and minerals, brisk acids and a nice palate with a unique taste I can't pin down - a combination of white stone fruit, minerals and I-don't-know-what... very Chablis, that's for sure, I wouldn't mistake it for anything else. I won't even try to rate this since it will need a bunch of years to open up, at least from our cellar.
