Chablis Les Clos William Fevre 2005

Domaine William Fevre Chablis Les Clos 2005 is a full-bodied white wine from the Grand Cru climat of Les Clos in the Chablis region of Burgundy. Established in 1959, William Fèvre has emerged as a significant landowner in Chablis, boasting holdings in six out of the seven Grand Cru appellations. Committed to limiting yields, the estate has embraced organic cultivation methods since 2000. This release hails from the Grand Cru Les Clos where William Fèvre owns a 4.1-hectare plot. "In contrast to the relative expressiveness of most of this group, the Les Clos is backward, reserved and very tight, revealing only glimpses of white flower, oyster shell and an airy marine influence that can also be found on the intense, pure and astonishingly precise flavours that possess another dimension relative to all of the other `05s with the exception of the Preuses. Class in a glass as they say and while presently tighter than a drum with an exceptionally dry finish, this has the material and balance to age for years." Burghound, 2007
