Fevre William Chablis Les Preuses(2002)

William Fèvre was a tireless campaigner for Chablis, both within the region and worldwide. He was instrumental in the battle against the extension of the boundaries for the Chablis appellation, which he would have restricted to only those vineyards sited on the classic Kimmeridgian rocks of the region. Looking beyond France's borders, he fought hard for the restriction of the use of the word 'Chablis' to describe any wine which did not come from that region of France.

($52) Pure, sweet aromas of lime blossom, minerals and flinty soil; offers much more lift today than the Cote de Bouguerots. Then very ripe but racy on the palate, with creamy-sweet citrus and stone flavors enlivened by bracing acidity. Wonderfully fresh, supple grand cru Chablis with superb inner-mouth energy. Finishes very long, lush and sweet, with a whiplash of fruits and stone. "A real competition wine," notes Hervet, "always more showy early on than the Valmur and the Clos."

Extremely subtle smoke and wood spice blend with classic Chablis green apple and crushed oyster shell aromas that precede gorgeously complex, ripe, painfully intense flavors that are less angular than the Bouguerots. This doesn't have the same power but it's actually a more complete and harmonious wine, at least at this point with top flight elegance and an unmistakably sense of class and grace. I very much like this as it's a bit more understated yet possesses great flavor authority and precision on the fantastically long finish.
