  Amazing wine. Simply amazing! It has everything you want from an old Chablis - except oystershells. Depth, complexity, a note of honey. Very satisfactory wine.

  This beautiful bottle was youthful, racy and elegant. Color was pale straw. Nose had notes of white peaches, lemon and stones. This wine has a lovely acid backbone, a pleasingly full mouth and a finish that goes on and on. It's still so fresh that it tasted like a Chablis < 5 years old. I'm sorry this is my last bottle.

  From a bottle purchased on release, this wine had a deep yellow center and clear rims. The medium+ intensity nose featured overripe pear, vanilla, citrus, and some almond paste.
  
  In the mouth, this wine was quite rich and a bit overripe at first. The acidity firmed up with 5+ hours of air. However, the super-ripeness still overwhelmed the pretty solid acidity underneath the fruit. It had good length and moderate complexity.
  
  This was a pretty good wine but given that it was a Grand Cru, I was hoping for more. This wine still looks pretty young but it seems unlikely it will get better. I have not seen age rectify the overripe note that, in my opinion, holds this wine back.

  Wine dinner at Blacksalt - Prévost, Krug, Pichler, Raveneau, Fevre, Grivot, LLC, Yquem & etc. (Blacksalt, Washington DC): I am not a big fan of Fevre as I believe the wines show a bit too much opulent fruits which often mask the mineral expression and precision of Chablis. Expressive nose displaying fresh white fruits, pear, granny smith, lemon juice, white flowers, smoke, flint and mineral. Beautifully balanced palate, very good concentration, fresh white fruit driven palate impression, strong presence of mineral, smoke, bright acidity and lovely long clean finish. Pleasant surprise, kind of reminds me very mineral/flint meursault. I would highly recommend if this wine was not affected by premox.

  I should have drunk the rest of these 3 years ago when I put in my 2011 note. This wine is definitely way down hill - 4 bottles were in various degrees of oxidization, and the remaining one was still drinkable, but showing lots of age.
