"The star of this extraordinary line-up is Domaine William Fevre?s show-stopping 2004 Chablis Les Clos (domaine). Its creamed stone aromatics are followed by a bold muscular powerful character. Medium to full-bodied and ample it explodes on the palate unleashing waves of iodine-laced minerals white fruits and liquefied rocks. This masculine counterpart to the Les Preuses is suave seamless and immensely concentrated. Projected maturity: 2008-2017. Though it is difficult to fathom Fevre?s 2005 Chablis Les Clos tasted at an unbelievably young age was even bigger denser and more powerful! Bravo!"

Burghound: 92-95 Points

" Stylistically this closely resembles the Valmur with its ultra elegant and pure aromas featuring white flowers oyster shell and subtle spice notes that perfectly complement the round powerful rich and full-bodied flavors that coating the mouth and culminate in a saliva-inducing incredibly intense finish that reminded me more than a little of a great Corton-Charlemagne. This just oozes minerality and the texture is akin to rolling rocks around in your mouth. A great Les Clos."

Vinous: 94 Points

"Pale straw-yellow. Aromas of iodine crushed stone flint and oatmeal. Wonderfully sweet and creamy with its pliant mouthfeel firmed by vibrant minerality. Finishes taut and racy with terrific lift. Very young but not at all hard. This is already suave."
