CHABLIS, GRANDCRULES PREUSES

MEET THE GROWER Domaine Marcel et Blanche Fèvre The Fèvre family are inextricably linked to Chablis, tracing their lineage to 1745, and this is aDomainewe haveworkedwith formany years. We are always hugely impressedwith the quality and value across the range, from top to bottom. Gilles andNathalie, husband andwife, are the fourth generation at the helm of this estate, cousins of theWilliamFèvre branch of the family. Gilles andNathaliemet studying inDijon and since 2004 havemade together. Nathalie has previouslyworked as the winemaker at the Chablis co-operative. Their daughter Julie, an oenologist too, is now front and centrewith thewinemaking. Their style is terroir driven, pure andprecise and drinks beautifully almost immediately fromrelease. They use a small amount of newoak in their top cuvées, dependent upon vintage conditions: often 20% in their 1er Crus, 30% in their GrandCrus. This adds texture and complexitywithout overpowering the terroir character of their wonderful sites, which include 1er Crus Fourchame, Vaulorent and Mont deMilieu and Les Preuses GrandCru. PleaseNote : In the last fewyears, the estate has started to transition to the nameDomaine Gilles andNathalie Fèvre- the samewine, under a different name. Most critics review thewines under this name, andwewill soon follow suit.

This is wonderfully full with ripe citrus – still lean and poised, really elegant and with great concentration and length.
