(from purchased grapes) Pale color. Metallic and minty aromas are joined by fresh lime with air. Densely packed but quite tight for young Grenouilles, with brisk lemon and red grapefruit flavors dominating. Fresh and minerally for this grand cru, and not at all exotic. Finishes firm and quite long.Author: Stephen TanzerIssue: July/August 2009Burghound | Rating: 94
This is also quite densely fruited with lovely purity yet somewhat surprisingly, there is less elegance to the blend of floral, stone and green and yellow orchard fruit aromas that marry into round, delicious and generous medium full flavors that are impressively complex and persistent. As good as this is, and it is indeed excellent, it can't match the Vaulorent for overall depth of material.Author: Allen MeadowsIssue: 4th Quarter, 2009
The Fevre family has been an integral part of the Chablis landscape for upwards of 250 years. Since the beginning, though, they have been adamant about protecting and promoting the typicity of Chablis, whose whites draw a unique and well-defined line in the sand when it comes to mineral-laden French Chardonnay. The grand crus from this estate represent the pinnacle of purity and intensity of world-class Chardonnay from France and are characterized by superb delineations of acidity, mineral, crystalline fruit and delicate floral nuance.
