    Smoky, fusil crushed chalk and fresh lemon in the nose of Fevre’s 2008 Chablis Les Clos lead to a palate lusciously-brimming with fresh apricot, lemon, and grapefruit, suffused with chalk, white pepper, salt, iodine, green tea, and distilled herbal essences. Exhilarating and rejuvenating, this finishes with a tenacity, vivacity, and tactile presence hard to equal in the vintage. A gripping, ultra-mineral Les Clos, for all of its sheer fruit intensity, it makes no concessions to charm or winsomeness, particularly in its mineral-dominated finish, which some may consider austere. But few will be able to weather this cru’s gutsy intensity unbent, or scour its residues from their gums and lips. I suspect it will be worth following for a good 15 years, but even more than any of the other wines in the 2008 Fevre collection, this should be given a few years in bottle before one gets serious about drinking more than an introductory bottle.

    Tight and steely in character, a serious wine that is all tight, mineral structure. It has great potential, its texture dominated by citrus and green apple elements. Age for at least five years.
  • 94
    Clean and focused, with apple, lemon, yellow plum and mineral notes riding a firm structure. This is balanced, showing a chalklike texture and a savory element on the finish. There's fine clarity and loads of power in reserve. Best from 2013 through 2025. 200 cases imported.

    This starts in the cellar, with scents of cool limestone walls and white mushrooms. Then it shifts into fruit, toward perfectly ripe apple and the mist off a squeeze of lemon zest. The fruit is framed by mineral acidity that brings out spice notes of acacia and lemon verbena. The clarity of the wine is what captures the imagination: chardonnay in its purest form. Astonishing now, it will bring joy in ten years' time.
