By Tim Gaiser, MS
(William Fèvre Chablis Grand Cru Les Clos, Burgundy) Classic Chablis is quickly becoming an endangered species, so finding a wine that has this austere character of pronounced, briny minerality and racy acidity without too much winemaking cosmetic surgery is not an easy task. Enter the 2005 Fèvre Les Clos. It has all of the above in spades and is just now hitting its stride; expect it to be enjoyable over the next seven to 10 years. Hot Picks

(Fevre William Chablis Le Clos) More waxy and tight than the Preuses. Mineral and very, very long - lovely!

Second bottle this evening. Still pale gold. Nose of sea air, oyster shell, flint, apple core, white stone. Layers of piercing granny apple, steel, grapefruit, and sea bed on the incisive palate. Austere structure and bracing acidity. Long finish of citrus, apple, white rock, and superb salinity. Promise fulfilled.

Cork leak. Vinegar like.

A pale yellow. Grapefruit inspired, along with bitterness and acidity. Some would say marked acidity, some would say marked bitterness. Definitely more grapefruity and bitter than mineral and stony.
Not as big and round as a southern Burgundy but quite wide for this far up north. Understandably, the overall impression at this advanced age is that of gentleness and lightness. Some magic happens at the finish when freshness sparkles with fructose. However, I’m not detecting much complexity, lift nor excitement.
This is supposed to be a top Chablis at an ideal age but I will limit my complaint to two words: 90 points.

Pale yellow. Lemon-lime and stone. Good complexity and smooth. Good acidity. Still fresh (17 years old) and long finish. Was a good pairing with shellfish, king crab and steamed fish on 2nd night.
