Chablis Grand Cru Les Clos 2022 - William Fevre

From the estate

96+/100 Parker

Rated by :William Kelley

Tasting period: 2030 - 2055

Chablis Grand Cru Les Clos 2022 is a serious, structured wine that opens slowly in the glass.It reveals aromas of ripe, waxy citrus zest, crisp orchard fruit and white flowers, all sublimated by a slight youthful reduction. 

On the palate, it stands out for its density and satiny texture. Ample and concentrated, it reveals remarkable depth and complexity. Of the entire range, this is the wine with the greatest structure and substance, requiring patience and maturation to reveal its immense potential.

The 2022 harvest marks the penultimate year of organic conversion for Domaine William Fèvre (78 hectares), although the estate has already been farming organically for 16 years. This vintage is a great success, expressing a tension and precision that are not systematically guaranteed in this Chablis vintage.

Finally, beyond the quality of the wines, the big news for this estate, managed with sagacity and skill by Didier Séguier since 1999, is its acquisition by Domaines Barons de Rothschild (Lafite). A wise choice to ensure William Fèvre's future.
