Description
This wine has a charming bouquet with astonishing fruitiness and a good mineral character. The powerful, strongly constituted palate lacks neither elegance nor roundness.
Pairs well with fish, shellfish and other seafood, poultry and white meat, all grilled or in a cream sauce.

Grown on a vein of kimmeridgian marl on the crest with Vaudésir. Not racked yet. Pale lemon yellow without the lime. Quite a weight of fruit here, lots to discover in the future but not quite ready now. Significant weight here, white fruit intensity, all stacked to the back, freshly baked apples, a little bit of spice and proper length. Very good. Drink from 2027-2034.

The 2021 Chablis Valmur Grand Cru comes from 1.1-hectares located on a vein of marn. As usual, it is a little austere and "mean" on the nose, but I like that, and it "grows" in the glass with engaging marine/oyster shell scents. The palate is very well balanced with a fine bead of acidity, taut and fresh, quite linear and strict yet building in density through to the finish. Excellent.

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
Deep and concentrated, the 2021 Chablis Grand Cru Valmur reveals notes of orange zest, peach, wet stones, blanched almonds and white flowers. Full-bodied, satiny and layered, it's a taut, chiseled structuring young wine that will reward bottle age.Rating: 94+

There is always lots of freshness from this 1.15ha site, high up in Valmur, close to the forest. The soils here are a deeper clay-limestone than many others in the grand cru. Fevre's Valmur shows plenty of sweetness to go with the rich palate feel. There are no harsh edges here and this is surprisingly approachable already. Good volume in the mouth, with ripe stone fruit notes which are not at all cloying. Will gain complexity with age.
