Green/gold in color, clear and bright. The nose has green apples, slight peach with a bit of gun powder. Medium bodied. Good balance. On the palate, green apples with some minerality. Good finish. This is drinking well now and should continue for the next five to eight years. It is nice on its own and also very food friendly. It would go nicely with smoked Salmon.
Fevre is possibly the best Chablis producer that is still (almost) affordable, so it was great to try this 1er Cru. Yellow/gold in color, clear and bright. The nose is tight but opened with a bit of air to show hay, green apples, slight wax and slight chalk. Medium to full bodied. Crisp acidity. On the palate, green apples, limes and slight peach with a bit of gun powder. Long finish. Still on the young side, this should drink well for the next eight to twelve years. It is nice on its own and would be perfect with oysters.
If you like crisp Chardonnay, this is a bottle to try. And, its affordable! Pale, silvery gold in color, clear and bright. The nose has grapefruit with some minerality and slight salinity. Medium bodied. Oily texture. Excellent acidity. On the palate, grapefruit with crispness. Long finish. OK, this might not be life changing, but for $30, this is one of the better Chardonnay's I have had in awhile. Nice on its own, and very food friendly. Well worth trying to see if you like this style.
This is quite good if still young. A more feminine side of Chablis. Light golden in color, clear and bright. The nose has apples, slight anise and gun powder (reduction?). Medium bodied. Good balance. On the palate, this drinks very smooth. Lemon cream notes. Quite refreshing. Deep, it does open up in the glass but could really benefit from more cellar time. Nice finish. This drinks well on its own but with some oysters or other sea food, it would be even better. Cellar for another few years and drink for ten to fifteen after that.
Silvery/green/gold in color. The nose has gun powder, slight lemons on a medium intensity nose. On the palate, this has a slick texture. Chalk and minerals with slight green apple flavors. Good acidity. Nice finish. Drinking well now and a bit leaner (in a good way) than many of the 2015's. It should be good drinking for at least the next decade. It should go well with seafood and lighter salads.
