2022 Chablis 1st Cru Vaillons, dry, 12.5% vol., William Fevre

The steep slopes along the Serein River, with their limestone and marl-rich Kimmeridge soil, shape the distinctive, minerally fresh profile of the Chablis wines from Domaine William Fevre. Following a mild winter and late frost, the vintage benefited from optimal flowering in May, resulting in perfectly ripe, succulent grapes harvested at the end of August. This single-varietal Chardonnay impresses with its bouquet of intense fruit and floral aromas and mineral notes. On the palate, it is elegant, generous, and pleasantly rounded. 93 Parker points.
