I brought my last two bottles home to drink because I was worried about the premox issues, and I didn't want to lay them down any longer. We opened one up with a sushi dinner, and it turned out to be amazing! No issues with this bottle, and I might actually return my other bottle to my offsite storage for several more years. The 2011 Les Clos is a really nice Chablis, and this bottle had no faults. Paired very well with the sushi.

Nice minerality and oyster shell, but while very smooth, it seemed a little flabby. Maybe my fault for drinking it on the warm side. Will try next bottle on the seriously colder side...
…tried another bottle a week later - much colder, helped only a little…

Annual holiday get-together (St. Genevieve): I felt this was showing well despite a bad food pairing with it. Saline, oyster shell, kind of a funky quality that adds interest.

Portland Paulee (Oregon Historical Society, Portland OR): There is always that trepidation hangover from Fevre's pre-diam days that just won't go away for me. A bit of nervousness as I want this to be what it can be. Good thing that is exactly what we have here with a real rounded style to the nose of saline, apples, pears, meyer lemons, toast, stone fruits, crushed rocks, spring florals, and a touch of nougat. There is excellent depth and style here with a silky, Medium bodied feel and crisp, medium+ acidity that has just a bit of bite to it. It will take a while for me to fully feel comfortable again with older Fevre. It's a pavlovian reaction for me that will take time to go away. It is bottles like this that give me hope and I am more than happy to keep on enjoying this!
