Chablis Domaine William Fevre 2010

 Domaine William Fevre produced a Chablis in 2010 that is perfumed with a stoney edge to the green apple aromas which also carry a tinge of lime in the back ground. On tasting it the acidity is freshening, the wine has a silky texture and real prescence! It has minerality layered with green crunchy fruits and some white stone fruits rounding out the flavours and adding flesh to what some think is an austere style of wine. The length is good and shows the quality of the wine with the layered minerality and ending in peach. Overall the style is linear, crisp and clean and shows elegance through to the end.
2010  wines were concentrated due to poor fruit set earlier in the season, so leading to a smaller harvest, minerality and keen acidity are key for this vintage. This wine may have seen a small amount of new oak in its making and this would have been much higher before 1998 when William Fevre sold to Champagne Henriot. The fruit was hand harvest with rigorous selection under the watchful eye of the winemaker Didier Séguier .
The  wine was £14.95 and came from The Wine Society.
