#40 James Suckling's Top 100 Wines of France 2021
Incredible wine here with cooked-apple, lemon-curd, vanilla-bean and praline aromas that follow through to a full body with layers of fruit and a long, flavorful finish. It shows aniseed, licorice and fennel seed.—James Suckling
The 2019 Chablis Grand Cru Les Clos has turned out brilliantly, mingling aromas of orange oil, confit citrus and crisp green apple with notes of warm bread, white flowers, oyster shell and anise in an incipiently complex bouquet. Full-bodied, layered and muscular, it's concentrated and tightly wound, with broad shoulders and huge depth at the core, concluding with a long, electric finish. It was cropped at 25 hectoliters per hectare.—William Kelley, The Wine Advocate
2ha of Les Clos were planted by Maurice Fèvre between 1947 and 1952, a time when much of the hillside was bare. The 2019 yields just 25 h/ha and had recently been racked, so had not fallen clear. The bouquet is immense. Keep sniffing, and it keeps offering more. This year Les Clos has a dimension over and above all the others. Not just density, but amazing depth. A little touch of bitters too, which we like at this stage. Such great length! Tasted: July 2020—Jasper Morris, Inside Burgundy
Note: from 4 separate parcels totaling 4.11 ha, 3 of which are all at the top of the slope
Tasting note: If Kimmeridgian could be distilled, it would likely smell exactly like the nose of the 2019 Les Clos with the addition of wet chalk, citrus zest and oyster shell. There is equally good delineation to the snappy, painfully intense and overtly stony large-bodied flavors that deliver superb length on the balanced finale. This elegant and classy effort is also built on a base of almost pungent minerality and a wine that should age effortlessly.—Allen Meadows, Burghound
Les Clos needs no introduction being the largest and most famous Grand Cru. Fevre's 2019 is a stunning combination of power, purity and elegance. The ripeness of 2019 comes through in the lovely stone fruit flavours but the class of Les Clos is shown by the structure and acidity on the palate. Oak has been used but is really not evident on the palate. There is great drive here with vibrant characters of zesty citrus fruits, saline notes and a lingering mineral finish.--Andy Howard MW, Decanter
2019 William Fevre Valmur Grand Cru
$129.89/bottle (In Stock) Buy Now
95 WA / 92-95 JM / 92-95 BH
Note: from a 1.1 ha parcel of vines that is close to Vaudésir and extends all the way from Grenouilles to the tree line at the top of the hill
Tasting note: A classic Chablis nose features notes of pear, green apple, iodine and sea breeze. The dense, serious and overtly powerful big-bodied flavors flash a sleek muscularity on the textured, sappy and youthfully austere finish that exhibits outstandingly length. This bad boy of a Valmur won't win any awards for refinement but it is beautifully constructed and clearly built-to-age for a very long time.--Don't Miss. --Allen Meadows, Burghound

92-95 JM / 92 VM / 91-93 BH
Still cloudy having just been racked, and the wood shows a little. Powerful on the palate, the spices are hard at work, massive concentration, the sunshine of Chapelots to the fore. Rich yellow fruit with, some white stone fruit notes beneath, juicy, but especially spicy. A powerful bottle not to be drunk young. Tasted: July 2020--Jasper Morris
2019 William Fevre Chablis Bougros Grand Cru

94 JM / 93+ WA / 92-94 BH
Note: from an incredible <6 ha parcel
Tasting note: A ripe and beautifully layered nose consists of notes of green fruit, citrus, iodine and mineral reduction. The powerful, rich and voluminous big-bodied flavors possess fine mid-palate density that coats the palate with sap before concluding in an austere, long and vaguely rustic finale. This is an imposing Bougros that should age effortlessly over the next decade plus. Sweet Spot. –Allen Meadows, Burghound

The 2019 Chablis 1er Cru Vaillons mingles aromas of crisp yellow orchard fruit and white peach with hints of beeswax and white flowers. Medium to full-bodied, enveloping but incisive, with tangy acids and fine depth at the core, it's long and saline.—William Kelley. The Wine Advocate

93-95 JM / 94 JS / 92+ WA / 90-92 BH
Fine pale lemon colour. This has a beautiful nose from the very start. A large third comes from, butteaux, for minerals, 20% from Forêts for elegance, and the remainder from Montmains for weight and structure. Classical chalky nose, absolutely perfect weight of fruit and tension here, very long finish. This will please the purist and the punter alike, says Didier (in translation). Very long aftertaste. Tasted: July 2020—Jasper Morris, Inside Burgundy
