William Fevre Les Lys Domaine 2011 (750ML)

91 AG / 90 AM

Fevre's 2011 Chabli Lys is gorgeous. Shades of yellow-fleshed fruit with tropical overtones emerge from this decidedly big, broad-shouldered Chablis. Early signs of development, especially on the bouquet, suggest the Lys is a wine to drink sooner rather than later. Almond and honeyed notes inform the inviting finish. This is a beautiful, rewarding Chablis to enjoy over the next few years. Didier Seguir adds that this parcel is usually affected by millerandage, hence the wine's fat texture. - Antonio Galloni, Vinous Media

This is almost achingly elegant with its airy nose of essence of tidal pool, mineral reduction and rose petal. The racy, intense and beautifully precise flavors are salty, clean and bone dry while retaining a lacy finish that is both delicate and superbly refined. - Allen Meadows, Burghound
