"The 2011 les Preuses from Domaine William Fèvre was also scheduled to be bottled the week following my visit, but unlike the âstraightâ Bougros, the wine was not showing any crankiness from its adjustments in tank in preparation for the mise. The absolutely brilliant nose wafts from the glass in a complex and classic mĂŠlange of green apple, tart orange, pink grapefruit, kaleidoscopic, chalky minerality, white flowers and a faint whisper of vanilla from its older barrels. On the palate the wine is deep, full-bodied, pure and utterly stunning, with a great core, laser-like focus, crisp acids and superb length and grip on the seamless and dancing finish. This will be one of the wines of the vintage in Chablis in 2011!"

The world's most influential fine-wine producer and the benchmark for Bordeaux, Burgundy, Champagne and the Rhone. Its appellation (AOC) system codifies geography, grape and method, and its wines set the global standard for age-worthiness and terroir expression.
Produces the world's most revered Pinot Noir and Chardonnay from a mosaic of tiny, terroir-defined climats. Its hierarchy of village, Premier Cru and Grand Cru vineyards makes site the ultimate expression of quality.
Produces steely, mineral Chardonnay from Kimmeridgian limestone in Burgundy's cool north, prized for precision, purity and saline drive.
The world's most versatile white grape, producing everything from steely Chablis to rich, oaked whites. Its neutrality makes it a mirror of terroir and winemaking, and the foundation of white Burgundy and Champagne.
