William Fevre Vaudesir Grand Cru 2018 (750ML)

94 WA / 93 BH / 93 VM / 93 JS / 93-95 JM

Pretty and demonstrative, among Fèvre's grand cru bottlings, the 2018 Chablis Grand Cru Vaudésir is second only to the Bougros in expressiveness. Bursting with aromas of pear, white flowers, orange oil and citrus blossom, it's medium to full-bodied, satiny and enveloping, with a bright core of fruit and a precise, mineral finish. William Kelley – The Wine Advocate

Note: from two separate parcels of vines, the larger of which is in the heart of the "amphitheater" from which the finest examples of Vaudésir originate
Tasting note: An exuberantly fresh and cool and mildly exotic nose offers up unmistakable Chablis character that includes sea breeze, iodine and oyster shell along with an abundance of citrus elements. There is equally good freshness and verve to the utterly delicious, crisp and
delineated medium-bodied flavors that possess fine persistence and a lovely minerality on the notably dry but not austere finale. This almost delicate effort isn't especially dense but it's awfully pretty. Allen Meadows - Burghound

The 2018 Chablis Vaudésir Grand Cru has an open, slightly menthol-tinged bouquet that is quite seductive; subtle orange pith and peachy aromas develop with aeration. The palate is very well balanced with more overt tropical notes compared to the more sophisticated Bougros, but you cannot fail to enjoy the ginger and lemongrass tang on the finish. A lovely Vaudésir that should age well over the next 10–12 years. Neal Martin – Vinous Media

A steely, lively white with sliced pears, apples and melon. Medium to full body, lovely fruit and a fruity finish. Reserved and fine. Drink now.--James Suckling

Pale yellow. The nose has considerable weight, a little flesh but also some class. Some peaches too. This overt opulence however gives way to a more classic thread behind. There is a saline touch, which makes you salivate, while waiting for the weight of the fruit to impact. Long and tasty. Jasper Morris – Inside Burgundy
