"Reflecting its relatively cool eastern exposure above Milly, the Fevre 2006 Chablis Les Lys was (as usual for this site) picked near the end of harvest. From 50-year-old vines and vinified half-and-half in tank and barrel, this displays a hint of vanillin and spice that reflect the presence of wood. With a gorgeous nose of iris, rowan, and chalk dust, it comes to the palate with impressive sheer density, and a winning combination of creamy richness of texture with brightness and grip. Saline, sweetly savory, chalky, and almost chewy tactile mineral dimensions vie for attention with luscious pit fruits and persistent inner mouth florality leading to a superbly concentrated finish."
