William Fèvre Chablis 2004

William Fèvre Chablis 2004: A pale, green-tinged hue suggests nothing out of the ordinary. For straight Chablis, however, it has a gorgeous nose; clean, mineral, precise, with floral-tinged stones fruit and an oh-so-subtle buttercream hint. Fresh, full, sappy, with beautiful mineral style on the palate, it has precision, balance, freshness and acidity, but a great savoury feel in the mouth. Rather short on the finish - but no more than you would expect with this appellation - and it delivers, with has no shortage of typicité. This is very impressive for the appellation, and merits a heady 17/20 (21/10/05)
