Ready to drink now: BH 95 pt 2004 Domaine William Fevre Chablis Preuses

2004 Domaine William Fevre Chablis Preuses

Domaine William Fevre is considered one of the more well-known Chablis producers in the world. Their wines consistently score high with critics such as Robert Parker, Stephen Tanzer, and Burghound. Now, when it came time for us to purchase a William Fevre Chablis, we were offered either the 2007 or the 2004. We picked the 2004 simply because it's drinking well now. Chablis can age for a long time, and we're impatient. Check out the video below to see Gary's thoughts on the '04, then head over to GarysWine.com and pick up a bottle on sale for $64.99.
Reviews: Burghound 95 Points

As I suggested in my in-barrel review, this had the potential to be a first rate stunner of a wine and it has indeed come together. In fact, I see no need to modify the original note, which I repeat here other than to point out that as good as the Valmur and Vaudésir, there is another dimension present here. Green fruit and citrus aromas with a subtle trace of quinine serve to highlight round, sweet and powerful flavors that possess enormous depth of material and the vibrancy of the finish is flat out unbelievable. In a sense, this is a deceptive wine in that no more than the finish appears to be winding down then it picks up again. At present, this is the longest and most persistent wine in the range and while this aspect is subject to change with time, it is a dazzling effort that vies credibly for top honors. I could still taste this wine the next day!
