2014 Fevre Chablis Vaulorent (Domaine)

Burghound (Allen Meadows) 93. Don't Miss.

“Yet again the ultra-fresh and strikingly layered white flower nose is packed with typical Chablis aromas that include cool mineral reduction, citrus and oyster shell nuances. The medium weight flavors are almost painfully intense while brimming with minerality on the chiseled and moderately austere finish that is tight to the point of being linear. This terrific effort will require at least 5 to 7 years of cellaring to reveal its full, and considerable, potential. In a word, impressive.”

Stephen Tanzer 91-93

"Pale yellow-green. High-pitched aromas of lime leaf, mint, menthol and white pepper. Rich but precise and peppery in the mouth, with lime and spice flavors accented by salt and pepper notes. Very firmly structured premier cru. This started out in 50% oak, none new."

Wine Advocate (Neal Martin) 92

"Tasted blind at the Burgfest annual tasting, Fevre's 2014 Chablis 1er Cru Vaulorent has a a noticeable marine influence on the nose, sea spray and cockle sheds merging with citrus lemon and flint. The palate is fresh on the entry with crisp acidity, quite vibrant in the mouth with a fine, tensile finish. There is a coda on the aftertaste, touches of the sea returning with even a tang of seaweed. Very fine but subtle and understated."
