(Fevre William Chablis Le Clos) A young lemon-yellow colour. The nose is a little reticent but wide and with some citrus bite - slowly increasing in depth with time. The palate is well textured - even waxy - also, like the nose, it’s understated and tight though the perfect acidity and length go unquestioned. This is showing about 50% of what was on display about 18 months ago so I won’t touch another for 4 or 5 years. Should still be top-class in the future
(Fevre William Chablis Le Clos) Lemon yellow, just a little deeper than the 2002. The nose is waxy with faint citrus and grapefruit plus the remnants of oak. The palate has the faintest element of harshness from oak, but it's fading. Lovely minerality with the acidity giving a really penetrating finish. Less ready than the 2002, but this level of concentration will amply repay 5-10 years in the cellar. There's now 12 in the cellar!
