about this wine:

Vaudésir
1,20 ha of 14,7 ha. Benefits
from a double exposure (due south for William Fevre s plots) on a very steep terrain, richer in clay than lime with round and rich minerality, it is enjoyable from its earliest age.

Characteristics of the appellation:
Fresh, refined aromas of flowers and fruit. On the palate, it is distinguished by particular subtlety: a delicious blend of softness and liveliness. Round and airy, it is very charming from its first youth.

Food-wine matches:
Fish, shellfish and other seafood, grilled or in a cream sauce. Poultry and white meat, grilled or in a cream sauce.

This is even more elegant than it usually is, which is saying something as there is a good argument to be made that the Fèvre Vaudésir is the current reference standard for the vineyard though I hasten to add that it's by no means an open and shut case. A pure and almost delicate nose that is decidedly more austere than virtually any of the preceding wines opens with a classic and exceptionally airy green fruit aromatic profile brimming with Chablis character that is followed by rich, full, naturally sweet and equally powerful flavors of simply incredible purity and focus as they finish with outstanding intensity that is borderline painful. This is a dramatic wine yet perfectly composed with a pronounced stony quality and the backend is bone dry and almost salty.

As though carved with a steel knife. Lots of fruit - some of the most obvious fruit in any Chablis 2007 in fact, but well contained in its fine corset. Very promising. 17.5/20

The Fevre 2007 Chablis Vaudesir exhibits a more adamant, chalky, oyster shell-like mineral cast than other crus in this collection, yet that goes hand in hand not only with a saline dimension, but with luscious, honey-tinged pineapple and peach, and a silken, faintly creamy textural tone. This finishes with an amazing indelibility of chalk and salt that's like an incrustation. The big fruit and implacable mineral sides to this wine need some years to entirely come to terms with one another, but the whole will be bigger than the sum of both of them, and this wine should excite over at least the next decade.-David Schildknecht

Pale, bright yellow. Discreet, very pure aromas of lemon, crushed stone, white pepper and flowers. Highly concentrated, supple and silky, with lovely deep minerality giving this wine another dimension and contributing to its impression of personality. This very rich and tactile wine finishes with terrific cut and a distinctly saline quality that's supported by fresh citrus fruit. A perfect example of the way a normally warmer terroir can outperform in a cool year.

This starts out with a blast of peach, lemon and apple fruit, before a dry, chalky feel takes over in tandem with the steely structure. There's nice austerity and a mouthwatering finish. Best from 2011 through 2021. –BS
