Critics Ratings

William Fèvre Chablis Les Clos 2009
Nose is both creamy and mineral. Palate is fine and dry and textured - just lacking in intensity. But long.' - Julia Harding MW, JancisRobinson.com, 17/20 (Jan 2011)

William Fèvre Chablis Les Clos 2010
'This smells more like a minerally Beaune white than a Chablis. Rich, creamy, lightly spiced citrus aromas, thought the austere mineral foundation is still there. Chalky and stony in texture, softened by the creamy oak effect. Powerful but streamlined. The oak is evident but well integrated. Excellent length.' - Julia Harding MW, JancisRobinson.com, 18/20 (Jan 2012)

'The 2010 Chablis Les Clos is all about understatement and balance. White floral notes meld into white stone fruit in this utterly gracious Chablis. Clos can at times be fleeting and elusive, and there is certainly some of that in the 2010. Still, it is impossible to miss the wine's textural finesse and sheer overall balance. I will not be surprised if the 2010 continues to get better in bottle. Anticipated maturity: 2014+.' - Antonio Galloni, Wine Advocate, 95+/100 (Aug 2012)

William Fèvre Chablis Les Clos 2012
'Much brighter and more expressive on the nose than Les Preuses. Bright lemon and grapefruit aromas, plus a light note of oak spice and leesy richness, though there's a slight S02 intrusion for now.' - Julia Harding MW, JancisRobinson.com, 17.5/20 (Jan 2014)

William Fèvre Chablis Les Clos 2014
'Solid and introvert but with real concentration. Still very earthbound aromatically but this certainly has the bones and muscles for a long life.' - Jancis Robinson MW, JancisRobinson.com, 16.5/20 (Jan 2016)
