Petit Chablis helps us to take a first step into the world of fine Chablis. William Fevre emanates fruity and floral bouquets that are marked by distinct mineral notes and great freshness. Hazelnut aromas, expressions of hay and of autumn, cheeky nuances of seaweed and bark, there is magic in the wine’s ability to mate the disparate elements into a union which represents a character of its own. The flavours flow freely onto the palate, a wine of marvelous clarity and long dry fruit, depth and purity. Satiating flavours of flint and of minerals, flowers and pears, lean and crisp, decent fruit, spice and honey in a light bodied and lively wine, inimitably suited to the best seafood, especially oysters.
An expressive nose offers good Chablis typicity with its aromas of apple, citrus, iodine and hints of mineral reduction. The racy, intense and nicely detailed middle weight flavors also possess a lovely salinity that really comes up on the refreshing and sneaky long finish. This energetic effort could be enjoyed immediately or held for a few years to develop better depth.
