Nathalie et Gilles Fevre, Chablis Preuses

Nathalie et Gilles Fevre, Chablis Preuses(from a 2. 3 ha holding). Here the wood treatment is slightly more evident though it still remains a background element on the nose of essence of pear, iodine and pretty citrus wisps. There is first rate density to the powerful yet refined, even sophisticated, middleweight plus flavors that brim with both dry extract and minerality on the compact, bone dry and sneaky long finish. This is also built to age and a wine that should reward a decade plus.

The bouquet is refined and focused

leather and spice notes

this projects remarkable delicacy and a focused sense of stone

an era in which finesse is just as prized as intensity

A cooler and very pure nose freely offers up its aromas of spice

sauerkraut and dried lychee notes

Dollops of Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot round out the blend

it is a rich

but the Garnacha is from different plots in the zone of Tudelilla at high altitude

regularly distributed throughout the growing season

Located on the eastern edge of the appellation
