William Fèvre : Chablis Grand cru "Les Clos" Domaine 2022

Greengage, apple, lemon and mineral flavors align with a bright structure and chalky texture in this lively white. Dynamic and balanced, with a lingering aftertaste of stone and stone fruit. Drink now through 2029. 300 cases imported.

Small yield, very concentrated, with masses of density on the palate. Plenty of drive and energy but has finesse to balance out the power. White peach fruit characters, vibrant acidity and a pronounced mineral, salty finish. Very long future ahead. Fèvre owns 4.1ha of the 25ha total within Les Clos. Its plots situated on the top of the hill, with 50% of the vines planted by William Fèvre's father in the 1940s and 1950s.

Tank sample. Spicy and creamy like the Valmur but perhaps slightly leaner and tighter on the palate, the acidity more to the fore on the finish. (JH)

Fresh pear, acacia, and almonds burst through a dense core of stone, delivering a powerful and vibrant expression rich in salinity and a hint of umami. The textured palate is driven by intense limestone minerality and electrifying salinity, promising great depth and energy. This wine is built to cellar well through 2032.
