  • 2006 Domaine William Fèvre Chablis 1er Cru Fourchaume - France, Burgundy, Chablis, Chablis 1er Cru (11/9/2009)
    First off, pretty much most of my experience with Fevre has been the 2004 Vintage, which has made me fall in love with the style. The first thing I notice in the 2006 Fourchaume is the creaminess. Way more cream and weight(botrytis?) than the '04’s I’ve had. Not a bad thing…just a thought. As the wine opens…clean and rich pear, baked apple, pineapple fruit…nice florals of lemon water, green apple skins, smoky flint, honey. I’m not getting any salty seashell funk? Do get a nice cut minerality of stones and lemons that does well with the creaminess. Also shows wonderful spice at times…and yeah, just a slight hint of sea air coming through. I like this wine! Not chiseled and cut like '04…more voluptuous, but still quality and tasty Fevre! (92 pts.)

06 was way warmer.

Yeah, I’m not a fan of the 2006 white Burgs, too fat and ripe. The 2004 of this is just off the scales delicious.
