(Domaine William Fèvre Chablis Grand Cru Les Clos) Light yellow color; very ripe green fruit, kiwi, gooseberry, nearly a NZ Sauvignon Blanc type nose; green on palate too, tart gooseberry, tart kiwi, gunpowder, mineral palate, with off putting green notes; medium-plus finish (seems like the cursed '04, time-delayed Burgundy green meanies have claimed another victim, as this was wonderful last year)
(Domaine William Fèvre Chablis Grand Cru Les Clos) Light butter yellow color; nice, glittery, lemon, lime, green fruit nose; steely, tasty, tart lemon, mineral, lime palate; medium-plus finish 93+ pts.
(Domaine William Fèvre Chablis Grand Cru Les Clos) Light medium yellow color; focused, citrus and mineral nose; tasty, tight, tangy citrus, grapefruit and mineral palate; long finish 92+ pts.
(Domaine William Fèvre Chablis Grand Cru Les Clos) Tasty, rich, concentrated lemon, citrus and mineral palate, quite elegant; medium-plus finish 93+ pts.
(Domaine William Fèvre Chablis Grand Cru Les Clos) Lovely floral and light lemon nose; light medium bodied, with lots of minerality, tart citrus, but a little diffuse on palate; medium finish
(Domaine William Fèvre Chablis Grand Cru Les Clos) Tight sea air nose, that opens after a half hour to a more minerally and prickly rock salt nose; big, tight, but structured with minerality; medium-plus finish
(Domaine William Fèvre Chablis Grand Cru Les Clos) Deep nose of lemon, cream and a hint of almond; rich, balanced, stately, lemon cream palate; long finish
(Fevre Chablis "Les Clos") Nose of crushed seahshells, some granny smith apple skins and more crushed seashells. Very aromatic. The palate is elegant but rich with a whopper of a finish. High-toned minerality and wonderful inner mouth aromas. The expansive finish pumps mineral-tinged fruit. Great wine that really stains the palate. Will benefit from cellaring but not a sin to open up now.
