2007 Chablis Grand Cru, Les Preuses, Domaine William Fèvre (Pre-Arrival)

Don't Miss! and 93-96 points from Allen Meadows' Burghound, who writes: "This is every bit as elegant as the Valmur with nuanced, highly layered, discreet and very pure aromas of understated green fruit and almost pungent tidal pool aromas that are followed by rounded, focused and incredibly complex flavors displaying notes of warm stone and oyster shell. The texture and mouth feel of this are positively seductive as the finish is a liaison of richness and delicacy with that silky yet explosive finish that all the great examples of Preuses seem to possess. A wine of crystalline purity that is every bit as good as the Valmur. Another don't miss Fèvre '07." (10/08) And 92-94 points from Stephen Tanzer's International Wine Cellar: "Pale, green-tinged color. Brisk aromas of powdered stone and orange peel. At once very rich and high-pitched, with penetrating, fruit-dominated flavors of orange, lemon and grapefruit. Offers a lovely light touch but is not yet revealing its full personality in the middle palate. Best today on the very pure, elegant finish, which mounts impressively and stains the palate with ineffable fruit. " (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.
