Chablis Vaudesir William Fevre 2017 (750ML)

91-93 Points, William Kelley, Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: "The 2017 Chablis Grand Cru Vaudésir exhibits pretty aromas of spring flowers, orange blossom and white peach. On the palate, it's medium to full-bodied, tangy and taut, with a lean, structural profile. It will likely fill out with further élevage." 8/18

95 Points, Antonio Galloni, Vinous: "The 2017 Chablis Vaudésir Grand Cru is another wine that captures the magic of this vintage. Sweet floral notes, ginger and citrus come together in this exotic, aromatic Chablis. Deep and rich on the palate, with superb textural resonance and fabulous balance, the Vaudésir is a wine of pure and total class. Hints of orchard fruit, mint and hard candy add an exotic flair." 01/20

91-93 Points, Neal Martin, Vinous: "The 2017 Chablis Vaudésir Grand Cru has a well defined bouquet, quite complex with scents of honeysuckle, citrus peel, a faint touch of nougat and almond lending a soupçon of exoticism. The palate is well defined with a crisp, taut line of acidity. I admire the focus of this Vaudésir with a lightly spiced, quite tensile finish that lingers in the mouth. Excellent." 8/18

95 Points, James Suckling, jamessuckling.com: "An expansive nose with wet crushed stones and limes, lemons and white peaches, as well as gently spicy and nutty complexity. The palate has a very composed and mouthwateringly fresh core with a build to lime-flavored cream and very elegant yet rich resolve. Drink or hold." 8/19

91-94 Points, Allen Meadows' Burghound: "A background application of wood is present on the vaguely exotic aromas of dried pear, apple, white peach and quinine. There is both excellent delineation and punch to the notably saline-inflected flavors that possess good punch while retaining a lovely sense of refinement on the impressively complex and persistent finish. This is lovely juice that should age well over the mid-term." 10/18

91 Points, William Kelley, Decanter: "The Vaudésir is very creditable in 2016, with a lovely nose of tangerine, bitter lemon, orange blossom, lavender and a gentle framing of reduction. On the palate the wine is full-bodied, saline, and unusually tensile and energetic for Vaudésir in an often open-knit vintage such as 2016." 10/17
