  This is a superlative Grand Cru Chablis, and is still a fraction of the price of the prestige estates. Taste profile is as per the note a year ago. I must admit that I've yet to have any premox issues with William Fèvre, and I wonder if it is a matter of provenance or transport. It is only a short land/ferry delivery to the UK. This is rocking, and with a structure that should keep this delivering for another decade.

  What a great Chablis! It is absolutely top notch and could go toe to toe with the prestigious estates at a fraction of the price. Fully mature and drinking in its prime, the nose is deeply aromatic with hazlenut, grapefruit, and lemon. The palate is full with citrus and oyster shell, and the finish has razar sharp precision and pushes past 30 seconds.

  Completely oxidized. Undrinkable. Had way too many bottles of Fevre that have done this. Will not buy more this is a producer issue

  Stellar Chablis. Great energy and profound nose. Plenty of grapefruit and seashell. An aged aroma that is hard to describe, but most reminds me of sweet, spicy sawdust (I grew up around sawdust). Perhaps this is the hazelnut aroma in aged Chablis that others have observed. A touch of white truffle in the aroma profile.
  
  Whatever it is, the wine tastes sophisticated and classy. Restrained (no tropical fruit), but concentrated and intense.

  This is a lovely wine that clearly expresses terroir. Aromas of yellow flowers, hazelnuts, lemon, and smoked sea salt. Softer on the palate, and with rounder fruit, than most Grand Cru Chablis. No signs of oxidation in this bottle.
