March 29, 2024 - Felt young on opening, as the freshness of the citrus fruit and pear were still very much present. Ripe green apple sweetness shows on the mid palate and leads to a clean, lightly creamy finish.
A perfectly stored bottle.
May 27, 2023 - Excellent clear, gold/yellow; nose just a bit muted, initially with a slight shrooms/musty note which turns to wet chalk, pear, subtle green component, slight bruised apple note; on the palate, super-concentrated flavors with a somewhat broad attack, but then focuses into mature green apple notes and becomes very structured, precise, clean, and very long with lemon notes in all its forms (curd, meyer lemon, lemon tart) and typical Chablis chalk. Really gorgeous although maybe at its peak 2 years ago? Still very strong and should last another 2-3 years in a similar state. Home w/chicken
February 26, 2023 - Served alongside the '10. Darker in color. Certainly advanced but very drinkable. Baked apple, creamy. Soft on palate...lacks the freshness of the '10.
May 30, 2022 - 20년 가까이 된 샤블리이기 때문에 조금은 오일리하면서 버터리한 느껨을 기대했는데 완전 반전 매력이었다. 2014빈을 잘못 봤다고 느낄정도로 산도도 강하고 파워풀 했다. 이렇게 상큼한 올빈 샤블리는 처음 인것 같다. 여운이 길게 남는 보툴이었다.
June 5, 2020 - deep gold. Best Fevre. minerals, green herbs, more weight and viscosity with time in the glass. lime, honey, hay. rich texture. slight oxidative note adds to complexity
November 27, 2017 - Yellow-green with a touch of gold; old pie crust, crushed rocks, chalk, slight apple, apple skins, button mushroom, lemon, lentil, very slaine, mineral; Super fine, silky in mouth with excellent balance and intensity; ripe on the attack, chalky long finish. This was very good, but just a bit too subtle, very fine, really nice, almost 93. Maybe it's in a slight dumb phase. Blind at home and then before dinner w/MD.
November 11, 2016 - 14K gold color. Fully mature and rich nose of golden delicious apples, seashells, saline and lurking petrol. Expansive across the palate, dominated by yellow fruits, petrol and broad minerality toward the full, viscous and balanced finish. Sort of in a leonine repose right now, and the visible community drinking window to 2019 feels about right. You know how good a white is when it's every bit (or more!) engaging at room temp.
June 22, 2015 - Providence: Always difficult directly following Champagne, this was still somewhat tight and youthful. It opened up to show crushed rocks, limestone minerality, white peach and lemon skin; very mineral, with vibrant acidity, very intense with a medium to medium plus body--not a rich creamy or honied GC as some chablis tend to evolve to over time; it was noted it had a subtle hint of vanilla/lemon curd showing slight oak treatment. Wonderful with the sashimi red tuna with subtle spices and a light cream underneath. Still could be put away for another 3-5 years or more. Just give it lots of time to open up if opening now.
July 24, 2014 - Minimal nose at first; opened up in 20-30 minutes; loved it for the next 30 min. - a soft, beautiful, balanced wine; then it started to fade.
January 2, 2014 - Definitely ready on the basis of this bottle indeed possibly tiring. Very Fevre Grand Cru and as consequence not 'classic' Chablis. Full, rich, good with food but rather more Meursault Premier Cru than Grand Cru Chablis. Not quite to my taste........
