  Tasted as part of Mary Margaret McCamic MW Chasing Burgundy online class. Lovely wine, way too early to drink. Medium plus acid, medium plus body, tons of floral/honeysuckle, flint, minerality and soft citrus/green apple aromas. Definite lees-aromas on the nose. Concentrated citrus and green apple flavors, tons of minerality and a great textured/chalky mouth-filling palate. This wine definitely needs time - but it was very good now.

  Grandes Maisons Grands Crus - Grands Jours de Bourgogne 2024 (Santenay): 30% oak. Similar to the Preuses very light and fruity. Not really interesting. In general the Chablis were far away from the Corton Charlemagne wines tonight, not just in mid mouth presence but also in attractive aromatics.

  greenish pale straw and mildly viscous. whiffs of orange blossom, fennel and damp rock waft thru the fresh pear and white peach fruit aromas. crisp yet silky in the mouth, the orchard fruit unfolds readily then somewhat retreats in the mid palate, giving space to herbal accents and a spice vein to stand out against the high-toned acidity. fairly good length.
  
  with future depth and richness already apparent, this seems to be already coming together… and should be really singing in a year or two. upside potential here.
  
  13% AbV; 14-15 months' ageing, of which, for 50-60% of the wine 5-6 months were on fine lees in French oak barrels averaging 6 seasons of use.

  Excellent, kept improving with air. Terrific minerality and promising complexity given the young age. The score/experience is likely to increase over the next few years.

  A good vintage for Fevre, and this was solid and enjoyable.
