2023 William Fevre Les Clos Grand Cru Chablis

96 Points - Charles Curtis MW, Decanter

“Year after year, Fèvre's Les Clos is among the great wines of Chablis. In 2023, the pronounced aromas range from grapefruit to nectarine and green apple, laden with pungent, salty mineral notes and a little smoky reduction – a bit of everything, really. The texture is dense, almost impenetrable at this age, but enlivened by a lovely hint of bitterness at the end. It is truly a wine for the ages. Ideally wait a decade before opening; this wine will last at least 40 years.”

“Derived from over 70-year-old vines at the top of a south- and southeast-facing slope, the 2023 Chablis Grand Cru Les Clos opens with a deep bouquet of orange peel, Anjou pear, beeswax and jasmine, mingling with notes of warm stones. Full-bodied, multifaceted and layered, it is concentrated and enveloping, with a muscular core balanced by ample chalky extract that imparts a sensation of freshness, laden with racy acidity and culminating in a long, saline finish. Harmonious yet built for the long term, it will richly reward patience. One of the greatest domaines in Chablis. Founded by William Fèvre in 1957, its vineyard holdings include 16 hectares of Premier Cru and 15 hectares of Grand Cru vines. The Domaine has been committed to a strong environmental approach for more than twenty years. HEV3 certified since 2014, the majority of the vines are managed according to biodynamic principles. With a human commitment to the way the soil is treated and respect for biodiversity, Domaine William Fèvre does everything possible to express the most subtle variations in Chablis’ Climats. From the Petit Chablis to the domaine’s six Grand Cru wines, the quality is superb and the range from Domaine William Fèvre is a benchmark for the wines of the region.”
