William Fevre Chablis 2011



2011 William Fevre Chablis - In stock now

(at our Forsyth location)
We bought everything that came into St. Louis of the 2011s


2011 William Fevre Chablis Les Clos Grand Cru....$96.99 
Fevre’s 2011 Chablis Les Clos is seriously intense. The Clos is another wine that saturates the palate with endless layers of aromas and flavors in a style that is all about persistence and length. The 2011 will require time, perhaps quite a bit of it, but it is striking for its purity and delineation. This is a very strong showing from Fevre and winemaker Didier Seguir. Anticipated maturity: 2014+.

2011 William Fevre  Chablis Bouguerots Grand Cru...$82.99
Veins of cool, vibrant minerality frame layers of expressive fruit in the 2011 Chablis Bougros Cote Bouguerots. This large-scaled, imposing wine is holding back much of its energy today. There is an implosive quality that is impossible to miss. The combination of fruit and intense minerality is highly appealing, even at this early stage. Anticipated maturity: 2013+.

2011 William Fevre Chablis Vaillons 1er Cru....$41.99
There is quite a bit of tension and acidity on the finish to frame layers of rich, highly expressive fruit in the 2011 Chablis Vaillons. This explosive Chablis captures an attractive middle ground between the cooler and riper styles of the year, with both plenty of detail and depth. Since 2006, this parcel has been farmed biodynamically. Anticipated maturity: 2013+.

2011 William Fevre Chablis Fourchame 1er Cru....$41.99
The 2011 Chablis Fourchaume wraps around the palate with serious intensity, which is amazing, considering the wine is made from the second selection of young vine fruit from Vaulorent! A gorgeous bouquet laced with gunflint, smoke, oyster shells and grapefruit balances the textural depth and sheer power of the fruit. Anticipated maturity: 2013+.

2011 William Fevre Chablis Montee de Tonnerre 1er Cru....$46.99
The most mineral of the premier crus, the 2011 Chablis Montee de Tonnerre possesses an elusive, and at times ethereal, personality than in many ways encapsulates what Chablis is all about. It is the least obvious of the premier crus, but also the most intriguing, as every taste reveals a different shade of expression. This is a wine of enormous promise. The Montee de Tonnerre is made from two climats: 1.5 hectares in Pied d’Aloup (the east facing exposure provides freshness) and 1 hectare in Chapelots, a south facing site that gives richness and stuffing. Anticipated maturity: 2013+.

2011 William Fevre Chablis Montmains 1er Cru...$39.99 / 750ml 
2011 William Fevre Chablis Montmains 1er Cru...$21.99 / 375ml
The cooler, more mineral-infused side of the vintage comes through nicely in the 2011 Chablis Montmains (domaine), which is mostly from Butteaux. Oyster shells, lime, crushed rocks and white flowers are layered beautifully as this highly expressive, delineated Chablis opens up in the glass. I especially like the intensity here. Today, the 2011 shows considerable potential. Anticipated maturity: 2013+.
