(Fevre William Chablis Bougros) Pale golden. The nose is a pungent mix of faint shoreline notes and heavy, lime-inflected fruit. Super minerality and intensity coupled to really good length. This seems much tighter than the last bottles - must be time to think about laying down for the future. An impressive bottle still.
(Fevre William Chablis Bougros) As the 2003's and 2004's head ever-higher (price-wise), mopping-up 2001's and 2002's is not a bad idea. The colour is still a very pale lemon-yellow. On the nose it's wide, fresh and nicely high-toned but it is underpinned with lovely fruit. The palate has not-yet tightened up, intensely concentrated, falling more into the mineral category than fruit-driven. Lovely balance though just a trace of harshness on the finish - only a minor blot at 65% the price of the 2004!
