Open for an hour. On the nose, cream, light caramel, baked apple, and a kind of green vegetable note, perhaps sugar snap peas like you might find in Gruner Veltliner or Muscadet. On the palette, sour baked apple, cinder toffee, still the greenness, cream on the finish. Maybe some lemon. So intense and complex, with great weight and texture. Huge length, getting on towards a minute.

Opened an hour in advance. Pours a pale gold. Baked yellow apples seasoned with cinnamon, toffee apple, cinder toffee, and a slightly green element akin to tarragon and dill. The palate is fresher than the nose with a tart element reminiscent of green apple skin accompanied by a feint spiced component of sandalwood adding some nuance and depth. A superb Chablis.

My 50th at the Ledbury (The Ledbury, London): Pale to mid straw. Properly saline on the nose. Similar on the palate with a pithy grip. Mid weight. Long. This is the best bottle of this yet. GC weight and texture with an extra breadth cf the more laser-like Preuses. *****

(Domaine William Fèvre Chablis Grand Cru Les Clos) Light yellow color; very ripe green fruit, kiwi, gooseberry, nearly a NZ Sauvignon Blanc type nose; green on palate too, tart gooseberry, tart kiwi, gunpowder, mineral palate, with off putting green notes; medium-plus finish (seems like the cursed '04, time-delayed Burgundy green meanies have claimed another victim, as this was wonderful last year)
(Domaine William Fèvre Chablis Grand Cru Les Clos) Light butter yellow color; nice, glittery, lemon, lime, green fruit nose; steely, tasty, tart lemon, mineral, lime palate; medium-plus finish 93+ pts.
(Domaine William Fèvre Chablis Grand Cru Les Clos) Light medium yellow color; focused, citrus and mineral nose; tasty, tight, tangy citrus, grapefruit and mineral palate; long finish 92+ pts.
(Domaine William Fèvre Chablis Grand Cru Les Clos) Tasty, rich, concentrated lemon, citrus and mineral palate, quite elegant; medium-plus finish 93+ pts.
(Domaine William Fèvre Chablis Grand Cru Les Clos) Lovely floral and light lemon nose; light medium bodied, with lots of minerality, tart citrus, but a little diffuse on palate; medium finish
(Domaine William Fèvre Chablis Grand Cru Les Clos) Tight sea air nose, that opens after a half hour to a more minerally and prickly rock salt nose; big, tight, but structured with minerality; medium-plus finish
(Domaine William Fèvre Chablis Grand Cru Les Clos) Deep nose of lemon, cream and a hint of almond; rich, balanced, stately, lemon cream palate; long finish
(Fevre Chablis "Les Clos") Nose of crushed seahshells, some granny smith apple skins and more crushed seashells. Very aromatic. The palate is elegant but rich with a whopper of a finish. High-toned minerality and wonderful inner mouth aromas. The expansive finish pumps mineral-tinged fruit. Great wine that really stains the palate. Will benefit from cellaring but not a sin to open up now.

En magnum. Medium yellow. Not a hint of oxidation. Still fresh. Excellent mid palate and finish.
