William Fevre Chablis Grand Cru Les Clos 2023 1500ml
DOZEN: $9,990.00 or $832.50 each
WORTH A SPECIAL SEARCH - 4.10 ha, principally the higher section but some lower towards Grenouilles - mainly planted before 1950 by that father of William Fevre. Always the only wine in this - or pretty much any line-up of great Chablis that makes me think - Chevalier-Montrachet!
Lovely higher freshness and depth - an ensemble. Mouth-filling wine - complex but vs some of the previous more inscrutable - a tiny richness complicating matters but the growing breadth of finishing flavour id magisterial - what a finish - undoubtedly a great wine - but this needs plenty of time, return - in the first instance - in 5 five years and then for as long as you like!! BILL NANSON, The Burgundy Report
The 2023 Chablis Les Clos Grand Cru comes from 4 hectares of vines, mostly at the top of the slope on limestone-rich soils. Oyster shell and light sea spray scents on the nose entwined with hints of orange pith and wild mint. The palate is very concentrated and intense, more so than William Fèvre's other Grand Cru. Very harmonious with a poised, stem ginger tinged-finish that lingers long in the mouth. Excellent. NEAL MARTIN
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. DECANTER
