Robert Parker

William Kelley

Aromas of orange zest, peach, oyster shells, white flowers and freshly baked bread preface the 2021 Chablis Grand Cru Les Clos, a full-bodied, layered and textural wine of impressive breadth and depth in this vintage, exhibiting considerable concentration and concluding with a long, electric finish. This will delight Chablis purists.

Wine Spectator

Bruce Sanderson

There's plenty of volume in this Chablis, whose rich, round frame boasts aromas and flavors of peach, apple, lemon and flinty mineral. It's all about the combination of power, balance and intensity, with excellent length. Though enjoyable now, this is still very youthful. Drink now through 2033. 170 cases imported.

A fruity, gourmand palate, surprising at this stage, but the tension and minerality are not yet in place; it will shut down to integrate its lovely power. Patience.

Description

The richness and depth of a Chablis Grand Cru wine

The estate

Founded in 1959, the William Fèvre estate has become an essential name among Chablis wines across the vintages. This illustrious Burgundy estate became part of the Henriot group in 1998.

William Fèvre looks after an exceptional terroir of 78 hectares of vines, including 15.9 hectares classified as Premier Cru and 15.2 as Grand Cru in Burgundy. Certified HVE (High Environmental Value) since 2015, this Burgundy vineyard, through its mosaic of more than 90 distinctive plots, enhances all the richness and diversity of the Chablis terroir.

The vineyard

"Les Clos" Domaine 2021 from William Fèvre is the biggest and most famous Grand Cru. It is the historic cradle of Chablis wines. It stems from a vineyard of 4.11 hectares placed on the heights of the appellation. The terroir, facing due south, with a soil made up of very white, dense and deep clays, rests on compressed limestone at 80 centimatres, which brings typical spicy notes.

Winemaking and ageing

The grapes were harvested by hand and vatted through gravity. A short pneumatic pressing was followed by a light static settling. Alcoholic and malolactic fermentations were carried out for 50 to 70% of the must in French oak barrels aged 6 years on average, and in small stainless steel vats for the remainder of the harvest. The wine was aged for 14 to 15 months, including 5 to 6 months on fine lees, in the same containers as the fermentations.

Palate

Food and wine pairing

This white Burgundy wine pairs marvellously with fish, crustaceans and seafood grilled or in a cream sauce, as well as poultry and white meats. A roasted turbot in cream sauce with little vegetables is a perfect pairing example.
