Domaine William Fèvre Les Clos Chablis Grand Cru Chardonnay 2005

Mike Saviage

Yellow gold, nice weight and color. Sweet floral nose. Notes of sweet kiwi, lime blossoms, river stone, fresh cut flowers. Good fruit and acidity in the mouth. This is about where it should be at this age. While this is a nicely made wine, it comes across as not not very exciting and more California like rather then from a Les Clos plot in Chablis. Consistent with when I last had this a few years back.

Excellent cut and clarity. Good depth and minerality. Very long. Kept getting better and better. Informal notes at dinner.

Sadly, a bit tired and would have been better 4 years ago.

Mike Saviage

Lt gold, straw color. Piercing nose of pit fruit, lemon, white flowers and stone. Rich and glycerol in the mouth. Good mouth feel. Med+ finish. With air this became more fruit forward and showed heaviness.

2005 William Fevre Les Clos chablis. I had a great write up but Delectable ate it. Here's the abbreviated version: nose of green apple and pear and papaya, beautiful finish, worth the money.

Slate and lime but with some mineral firework action. Palate has a full on sappy mineral character with some smoky white fruit, quite hot

Celia Erickson

Bitter finish, hints of petrol, buttered popcorn on nose

Mark Lindzy

Was cheesy/funky open opening, but after a decant it blossomed beautifully with bright oyster shell minerality and yellow pear skins.

Clare Gillette

First bottle had a little nutty oxidation going on with is (still drank well), but this one showed great. Flinty and lively acids, just tons of lemon zest. Still years to go

Joseph Barsky

2005 Vintage. Much better than the 2004 Les Clos we had just before this. The 2004 had oxidized and was not nearly as good as the 2005 which had good acidity, lime and seashell flint.
