2019 William Fevre Chablis Grand Cru Vaudésir, Burgundy

Note: from two separate parcels of vines, the larger of which is in the heart of the "amphitheater" from which the finest examples of Vaudésir originate.

A riper and mildly exotic if very, very restrained nose is still appealingly elegant while offering equally good Chablis character. The pure, refined and almost painfully intense middle weight flavors are much fine if at the expense of power on the almost pungently mineral-driven finish that is shaped by grapefruit-tinged acidity. While in need of better depth, this bone-dry and chiseled effort should also age effortlessly while it develops it.

Cropped at a paltry 20 hectoliters per hectare, the 2019 Chablis Grand Cru Vaudésir unfurls in the glass with aromas of musky peach, orange oil and clear honey, mingled with hints of iodine and dried white flowers. Full-bodied, ample and satiny, it's layered and tightly wound, with racy acids and striking concentration. This will really repay extended bottle age.
