Chablis Grand Cru Vaudesir 2022 Domaine William Fèvre

Professional reviews

Jancis Robinson (16.50)

Tank sample. Cool, fresh first impression, delicate at first but with air this opens to depth and concentration of stony citrus. A little less intense on the palate than I expected from the nose but long.

Vinous (93)

The 2022 Chablis Vaudésir Grand Cru has a less immediate nose than the Bougros, with hints of lanolin and estuarine scents, lemon verbena and fern. This builds with confidence in the glass. The palate is well-balanced with fine delineation and cohesion, a welcome sour lemon edge, and salinity with a primal grapefruit finish. Again, this will require time once in bottle.

A small lot so better to assemble early, which has just been done. A fresh green light shines through the clouds nonetheless. Picked among the first, a little yellow fruit plums and fresh white peaches. Salty rather than saline, with a fine firm backbone. The finish is particularly impressive, with the fruit becoming ever fresher at the back of the palate.
