2008 Chablis, Vaulorent 1er Cru, Domaine William Fèvre

Chablis, Vaulorent 1er Cru, Domaine William Fevre
The Fèvre holding of Vaulorent has much in common with their grand cru Preuses. This has a seductive opulence on top of the perfectly poised structure. Burghound’s descriptors include “hints of stone, tidal pool, algae, oyster shell…” but that means he likes it very much.
(Jasper Morris MW, BBR Buyer)Domaine William Fèvre, Chablis

Chablis, Vaulorent 1er Cru, Domaine William Fevre
Chablis "Fourchaume - Vignoble de Vaulorent" Premier Cru comes from an impressive 3.63 ha parcel by Les Preuses. Séguier calls this their "baby Grand Cru" as specific barrels are selected for vine age, concentration and power. This is one of those wines where you can sense the sheer depth of material simply based on the nose as the very dense fruit displays additional hints of stone, tidal pool, algae, oyster shell and a mix of green fruit and white flower aromas that give way to concentrated, serious and rich flavors that are actually quite fine before culminating in an explosively long and palate staining finish. A terrific wine that could easily pass for a Grand Cru. Don't miss! Outstanding!
