2013 Chablis

Until 21st January this product is discounted by 30 percent. Price shown includes saving.*
Fèvre has 10 plots in all, comprising just over four hectares, mostly very old vines, and mostly higher up the slope. The nose has it all: some peaches and plums, along with the stern approach of great Chablis. This is really very fine indeed. The sensational volume of fruit in the mouth fattens out towards the back then finishes with a linear drive. Absolutely complete.  Very long finish indeed.

The domaine began picking on 26th September, the first to do so in Chablis and ahead of many in the Côte d’Or. It was the right decision since with their low yields and well aerated bunches the grapes were ripe enough, harvesting conditions were good, and everything was picked before the horrible weather of 5th and 6th October. As a result these are wines of exceptional intensity and potential longevity.

Fèvre’s two plots, facing due south, are always the first to be picked each vintage. The 2013 shows a lovely pale lemon colour with some green tints, followed by a very fine stylish nose, fresh and compelling. This is really fabulous, digging down deep with a lemon minerality which impresses. Explosive early yet with great keeping potential.

Kept in barrel until December this is bright and clear in colour. Picked early, the fruit bounds out of the glass, no sign of the oak. Displaying a whole raft of different fruits, the oak lends support behind. In particular the fruit acid balance impresses. Great Chablis.

Picking began on 30th September, stopped for the rainy weekend, then the small amount remaining was finished afterwards. The Pinsons have been making such good wine for several years now, and 2013 certainly continues that story.

This bottling is a selection from the best plots within the premium sector of the Fourchaume vineyard. The bouquet shows a succulent, almost Muscat-y quality this year. It has a smokiness to it, with ripe fruit and huge energy. Indeed, the fruit is lovely throughout, with some plums, good acidity and complexity. There is always volume to Vaulorent.

From several different plots throughout Les Vaillons, a sunny and early ripening vineyard, the first to be converted to organic farming back in 2006. As always, this is relatively strict in style, with some fresh lemon notes, yet still with a little bit of flesh on the bones, an excellent food wine.
