Domaine William Fèvre Chablis 1er Cru Vaillons

91-92

2010 vintage

Purchased on release. Still drinking well but time to drink these up. Ocean spray and lemon on the nose. A bit richer with a touch of honeyed almond and pretty minerality on the finish. 91 points.

Boing!

2010 vintage

First of 6. Excellent nose, very good mouth and length. High pitched citrus and seashell notes. Talcy. More ethereal than full bodied, it still seems ethereal. Yum. Better cold.

2010 vintage

Crisp, subtle, stoney.

Oysters and this wine takes one beyond the pandemic. Wish I had more of both

2010 vintage

Tasted over 3 hrs -translucent pale gold-green -mild reduction lemon sea breeze -med+ acidity, med weight intensely sappy mineral saline faint lemon, great length -outstanding display of Chablis typicity, very fresh for a decade old with the only hint of age being a lack of fruit, the best of 4 bottles tasted over the past 6 years

2010 vintage

Clean, fresh, and fruity in the nose with citrus fruits, pears, minerals, and sea breezes; acidic and fruity on the palate with citrus fruits and peels in good depth; long finish; overall, 91-92 points at this stage.

2010 vintage

Minerals, green apples, citrus, and a hint of stone fruit on the nose. Good acidity with lemon, citrus, chalk, and slight bitterness on the palate. Very nice finish. Great QPR.

2010 vintage

Superb once again. Perfect weight and balance; very good acidity. Hints of citrus. Complex, lingering finish. Great vintage for this wine!

2010 vintage

Faint yellow color. Aromatically presents sea breeze, lemons, background floral notes. On the palate the acidity takes a back seat to the concentrated lemon. Mid palate this really concentrates with citrus notes weaving in a chalky minerality and almost imperceptible green apple. Overall this is a good wine, but a bit one dimensional with lemon predominant, and not much else going on. Good length if you love lemony minerality.

2010 vintage

Tasted over 2 hrs -translucent light gold -mild reduction sea breeze -med/med+ acidity, med- weight focused with mineral intensity and residual sweet lemon -classic Chablis aromatics, dynamic like most '10s though this bottle is lacking some complexity and depth

2010 vintage

Holding up well. Pale. Medium weight. Almost fleshy. Classic nose of shells and lemon. Good for another couple years.

2010 vintage

Age has been very kind to this wine, giving it a touch more depth but not at the sacrifice of the lemony, sea-shell finish.

2010 vintage

A first of six and provided most refreshing pleasure on a hot summer evening. Pure and bright energy, with the Chablis' iodine and tarty back end, this was thoroughly enjoyable. The bottle had plenty of the Sun from the '10 which shined in the most pleasant and uplifting manner. Cheers,

Happy Birthday Kevin! (Kevin and Vicki's House 5/11/17): Wow nose- so clean and fresh; ocean air. Great minerality. Hints of vanilla (oak) on palate as well.

2010 vintage

Very consistent with my previous notes and I think this has probably reached its mature plateau.

2010 vintage

Happy Birthday Kevin! (Kevin and Vicki's House) : I'm not the biggest Chablis fan, but this wine drinks well. Great minerality, it feels like being at the sea. A hint of oak, with just a touch of vanilla. Very fresh tasting.

A Wednesday Wine Lunch with Some Oomph (Rocknroller's (Kevin & Vicki's Place)) : Light gold color. Drank 1 glass over 30 minutes. Another great '10 Chablis and great showing of this wine. Love the seashore aromatics, meyer lemon, minerals, savory spiced pear, and hints of vanillin on the nose. The palate is mineral driven Chablis, lime, powdered lime extract, spiced orchard fruit, long and crisp.

2010 vintage

Kevin's (Rocknroller) Birthday Bash : Nose: Lots of up front shell minerals with a chalky, earthy quality and lemons showing up later. Palate: Very saline originally but this attribute blew off with glass air time. Well made with good acidity, lemons and the shell minerals showing. Always love Fevre wines and thanks to Gary for bringing this bonus bottle. 92+ points.

2010 vintage

Nice, clean, a little bit rounded out and less focused and crisp although has great minerality in the finish with rocks and chalk. delish for appetizer.

2010 vintage

Ides of March Wine Luch (Rocknroller's (Kevin's)) : Light gold color. Drank 2+ glasses over 75 minutes. Wow, another great bottle of this. Great nose oozing with seashore, plenty of earthiness, nice meyer lemon fruit. The palate has splendid balance, really giving you energy and zingy acid without any bit or edge. The Meyer lemon and tangerine fruit is pure and there is a great focus and lift. Wonderful length and elegance here. Love it. My #2 WOTN by a …

2010 vintage

As i predicted in my previous review, this wine is still drinking well and also again proved a great partner with salmon. Clearly not the power or full body of a Grand Cru but this is one of my fave 1er Cru's.

2010 vintage

Brilliant 1er Cru Chablis from 2010. Expressive nose with silky, precise mouth feel supported by lovely light oak and acidity. Has a long, long finish. Perfect now, but should still be good for a year or three. Everything as it should be. Exceptional vintage for this wine.

2010 vintage

Tasted over 2 hrs -translucent pale light yellow green -mild reduction sea breeze ripe almost tropical -higher acidity, med/med- weight decent if not profound depth, chiseled rocky saline, Ok complexity and length -a little more on the mineral/rocky end of the spectrum than some other Fevre 2010s, drinking well now as fruit starting to fade and the mineral elements dominate, further upside anticipated
