"The 2011 les Preuses from Domaine William Fèvre was also scheduled to be bottled the week following my visit, but unlike the “straight” Bougros, the wine was not showing any crankiness from its adjustments in tank in preparation for the mise. The absolutely brilliant nose wafts from the glass in a complex and classic mélange of green apple, tart orange, pink grapefruit, kaleidoscopic, chalky minerality, white flowers and a faint whisper of vanilla from its older barrels. On the palate the wine is deep, full-bodied, pure and utterly stunning, with a great core, laser-like focus, crisp acids and superb length and grip on the seamless and dancing finish. This will be one of the wines of the vintage in Chablis in 2011!" John Gilman, View From the Cellar, Nov/Dec 2012, Issue #42 |
