Medium yellow. Most salty sea breeze on the nose. Superb weight and glycerine feel with excellent bolstering acidity and supporting citrus. This just kept on coming and continues its outstanding run at 12 years of age.

For me the Bougros Bouguerots from W. Fevre is the very best from this Chablis producer, from multiple experiences. By far eclipsing their Les Clos 2010, tasted recently... this BB showed a great elegance, saline, and complexities within transparency. On the nose very subtle yet undeniable Chablis GC with white flowers, beautiful citrus, yeast, dusty mineral, and on the palate, such pleasant texture mix of the qualities above and slightly saline and powdery mineral beaming under the teeth. I could drink this more often(!!) and it went splendidly well with Bottarga from Sardegna. Cheers everyone.

2010 Fevre and Dauvissat Grand Cru Chablis (Oceanaire, Mpls, MN): Pale gold color. Drank a glass plus over 2 hours. Cool lime and dry stone on the nose, strong Meyer lemon, intense, lime, and a little spice. The palate is tart, tart lemon peel, stone fruit, brine, and lime. Very pretty and long with a lime zest finish. Shows some flint later; though not quite as multi-dimensional as the Vaudesir it was flighted with.

Bottled under Diam 10 closure. Dull medium yellow. Eighty percent chicken broth and seaweed on the nose, the rest lemon. Medium to full bodied, fabulous feel, penetration, and coverage. As the aromas suggest, the flavors are more about the primordial, musky Chablis mix of sea shore and stone than Chardonnay fruit, but no shortage of brisk lemon rind either. Tremendous wine of the highest caliber, and once again, kudos to Fèvre for being an early adopter of alternative closures which allow this to show as well as it should 12 years out.
