Justerini & Brooks Tasting note
William Fèvre, Chablis, Les Clos, Grand Cru, 2010

Fèvre are the biggest owner of Les Clos and have some very well placed old vines in the higher part of the vineyard, many planted back in the 1950s. Very powerful but complete, everything about this is impressive, showing rich and intense flavours that are delivered on the palate with finesse. Refined, multi-layered characteristics of citrus, salted butter, mineral, blossom, limestone and flint, culminating in an enormous finish. A blockbuster.

Antonio Galloni, Vinous
The 2010 Chablis Les Clos is all about understatement and balance. White floral notes meld into white stone fruit in this utterly gracious Chablis. Clos can at times be fleeting and elusive, and there is certainly some of that in the 2010. Still, it is impossible to miss the wine's textural finesse and sheer overall balance. I will not be surprised if the 2010 continues to get better in bottle.

William Fèvre

Through hand-picking into small shallow containers to avoid crushing, low yields, organic management of the vineyard and sensitive winemaking, Fèvre have established a well-earned reputation for greatness in Chablis. Half of the Premiers Crus are separated into used oak barrels for ageing between 10-13 months. The Grands Crus are all aged in used oak barrels for 12-15 months. Often the oak maturation is only just discernible in the wines, particularly after a bit of bottle age, this is no doubt thanks to their stunning purity and intensity of flavour. A Great Chablis Domaine.
