The 2021 les Preuses from Domaine Fèvre is even a hair better than the brilliant Valmur! The wine offers up an aromatic constellation of lemon, pear, tart orange, beeswax, a kaleidoscopic base of chalky minerality, oyster shell, straw and a topnote of lemon blossoms. On the palate the wine is full-bodied, complex and impeccably balanced, with a lovely core, great mineral drive and cut, zesty acids and a long, vibrant and lifted finish. Great juice. 2028-2065

Note: from two parcels of vines that total 2.55 ha, or 22% of the entire appellation A deft application of wood frames the beautifully elegant nose of essence of pear, green apple, acacia blossom, lemon rind and a plethora of classic Chablis scents. The dense and unusually powerful large-scaled flavors don't have the muscle of the Valmur but they're finer, all wrapped in a massively persistent and even more complex finale. As good as the Valmur is, and it's wonderful, there is just a bit more here. *Don't Miss!*

The 2021 Chablis Les Preuses Grand Cru comes from 2.5-hectares split over two parcels. This has one of my favourite aromatics from Fèvre this year with superb delineation and mineralité. The palate is harmonious and poised, very focused and tensile, plenty of energy with a touch of lime and clementine towards the persistent finish. This is an outstanding Chablis that should age supremely well in bottle.

One of the domaine's standout wines, this immediately strikes you with its precision and clarity. Fevre's vines are from two different sites, with varying expositions - one lower down and facing south-east, the other high on the plateau. Great elegance with plenty of weight and concentration on the palate, full and fleshy. Grapefruit notes to the fore but plenty of mineral/saline notes on the long, persistent finish. A delicious, aristocratic grand cru. Fevre owns 2.5ha within Les Preuses.
