2007 Chablis Grand Cru, Les Clos, Domaine William Fèvre (375ml) (Pre-Arrival)

Don't Miss! and 94-97 points from Allen Meadows' Burghound, who raves: "An aggregator is how I would describe this nose as the range of aromas and subtle nuances is genuinely amazing with a purity of expression that is nothing short of riveting with the classic assertive mineral reduction character that suffuses the character of this wine from the incredibly detailed nose to the wonderfully long, palate staining finish. The big, rich, powerful, detail and superbly focused flavors are supported by a very firm acid backbone that confers a bone dry quality to the finish that I could still taste hours later. In brief, at the moment this is more extract of Kimmeridgian stone than wine but it's breathtakingly good. This should positively be on your short list of '07s not to miss." (10/08) And 94-97 points from Stephen Tanzer's International Wine Cellar: "Pale yellow. Wonderfully pure, subtle nose offers mandarin orange, grapefruit, lemon and powdered stone. At once fat and vibrant, entering the mouth with huge volume but conveying an impression of weightlessness. Large-scaled, pliant wine that's consistent from start to extremely long finish. This is a level beyond the other Fevre grand crus in 2007, which is high praise indeed. " (06/08) Please note that this wine is not here at this time, and is being sold on a pre-arrival basis. Arrival is expected in June of 2009.
