Chablis

£110 Buy

Easy, 'gourmand' style but with precision and freshness, this is a pure 'vin de plaisir' that will drink well from release. Drink now-2014 - armit

Green-tinged yellow. Aromatic nose combines white peach, lime and a hint of dusty stone. A step up in depth from the Chablis Champs Royaux, but a wine of modest intensity and nuance. Balanced for early drinking. - Stephen Tanzer, 87 points

Chablis 1er Cru Vaillons

£215 Buy

Notes of dried apricot and fresh cut summer flowers on the nose. On the palate, this is engaging and very easy to get along with, an open style but with a good, dry and concentrated finish. Drink now-2016 - armit

Pale, green-tinged color. Less primary fruit and more spice on the nose, along with a hint of orange oil. Then fruitier in the mouth, with crunchy peach, orange and nutmeg flavors firmed by good mineral grip on the back. Finishes with sneaky length. This should be a very good value. As of 2008, Fevre is farming 30 hectares of vines biodynamically, including its holding in Vaillons. - Stephen Tanzer, 88-91 points 

Chablis 1er Cru Montée de Tonnerre

£250 Buy

The first aromas here are open, floral and intense but behind there is imbedded minerality. Notes of citronelle, preserved lemon and a touch of apricot cmobine with the more smoky notes of flint and silex. On the finish there is impressive drive, showing that this is a wine with staying power too. Drink 2012-2019 - armit

Light green-tinged yellow. Pure, nuanced nose hints at stone fruits, ginger, cumin and silex Dense, spicy and sweet; concentrated, broad and mouthfilling but with a lovely light touch for the year. Nothing hard about this premier cru. Really saturates the palate on the aftertaste. - Stephen Tanzer, 90-93 points

Chablis 1er Cru Vaulorent 

£320 Buy

Less flamboyant on the nose than the other 1er crus, this is more serious and a step-up in complexity. Silex, oystershell and flint speak of a classic wine with great precision and scope. Less playful it may be but more intellectually challenging as a result. Drink 2013-2020 - armit

(prior to 2008, the label said Fourchaume Vignoble de Vaulorent) Pale yellow-green. Penetrating, high-pitched aromas of seashell, lime, violet and licorice. Very rich, seamless and silky, with the mouthfilling texture of a grand cru. This large-scaled wine boasts terrific underlying structure and builds impressively on the very long finish. - Stephen Tanzer, 91-93 points

Chablis Grand Cru Bougros Côte des Bouguerots

£450 Buy

Magnums £460 Buy

On the nose this is breezy, showing good zip and energy. On the palate there is power too and the fruit character is dry and citric with a stony, mineral core. This is the most pure and classic perhaps of the quartet today, once again showing the excellence of this parcel. Drink 2014-2022 - armit

Pale, green-tinged color. Rather withdrawn nose hints at spearmint, spices, menthol and crushed stone lifted by a whiff of lime oil. Suave on entry, then penetrating, concentrated and energetic, with strong acidity giving excellent cut to the middle palate and carrying the wine's fruit. At once broad and aromatic on the back end, and extremely primary today. This will need at least five years of cellaring. These very small grapes produced just 40 hectoliters per hectare in 2009, according to Seguier. - Stephen Tanzer, 92-94 points

Chablis Grand Cru Les Preuses

£450 Buy

Magnums £460 Buy

On the nose notes of toast and spice combine with grapefruit and a little cream. The most elegant of the grand crus at Fèvre, this shows grace and friendly smile but there is still plenty of rigour here too and with time, the minerality will assert itself more fully. Drink 2013-2020 - armit

Pale lemon-green color. Highly expressive and pure aromas of lime zest, nutmeg, ginger and quinine. Fat on entry, then stuffed with ginger, citrus and stone fruit flavors. Displays a distinct sucrosite without any heaviness. Finishes impressively long and spicy. This reminded me of a cross between an Alsace riesling and pinot gris grand cru. Am I underrating this? - Stephen Tanzer, 91-93 points

Chablis Grand Cru Valmur

£460 Buy

Magnums £470 Buy

Racy and precise on the nose, with notes of grilled nuts and gunflint, like the Vaulorent this is a little more introverted but built on a larger scale, with plenty of depth and density in evidence. Everything is in place here but don't hurry this one. Drink 2014-2022 - armit

Pale, green-tinged yellow. Spicy, ripe aromas of nut oil and smoky minerality. Fat and sweet but with good energy to balance the sucrosite A rich, fresh, rather backward wine that finishes with serious backbone and strong minerality. From similar Kimmeridgian marne and calcaire to the Vaulorent, notes Seguier. - Stephen Tanzer, 91-93 points

Chablis Grand Cru Les Clos

£525 Buy

Magnums £535 Buy

There is always a sense of completeness about Fèvre's Clos and this is no different. All of the elements are there: citric fruits with subtle stonefruits, gentle floral aromas and then the smoke, stones and crushed rocks that are so disitinctive in great Chablis. There is precision beside the power and a grand, stage-stealing finish that shows the pedigree. Another great Clos. Drink 2015-2025 - armit

Pale green-tinged yellow. Pure crushed rock and flinty minerality on the nose. Spicy, complex and very sweet; this manages to be simultaneously thick, seamless and weightless, with nothing aggressive above it. Best today on the explosive, mounting finish, which saturates the palate with iodiney minerality and crushed stone. As dry and youthful as this is, it still conveys the essentially gentle style of the vintage. - Stephen Tanzer, 92-95 points
