Introduction

A good meal of Foie Gras and a Trout main accompanied by:

Flight 1 (1 Note)

  • 2015 Domaine William Fèvre Chablis Grand Cru Les Clos

    France, Burgundy, Chablis, Chablis Grand Cru

    Overall, a disappointing Les Clos, quite a way inferior to the 2014 La Chablisienne Les Clos. Pale gold. An attractive nose of gentle spices, pears and lemons, with a slightly off-putting creamy, lactic element. This element was reduced on the second pour. Not a lot of Chablis typicity on palate … in fact, before the food, I was not at all impressed. It seemed overly broad and lacking in focus, minerality and acid cut. The second pour was again better on palate and the acidity seemed to improve when matched with the fat in the Foie Gras. It also paired reasonably well with the trout. Only, in my view, an average Grand Cru Chablis.
