Fèvre/William Chablis (Domaine) 2017

92 points James Suckling: "This has plenty of ripe rich fruit with an array of lime curd, peaches, apricots and mangoes. The palate is packed with flesh and very succulent smooth and creamy peaches and apricots. A lot to like here. Drink on release. (7/18/18)"

91 points Tim Atkin, MW (Decanter): "The better of Fèvre's two Chablis cuvées - the other one is a négociant blend - this very lightly wooded cuvée comes mostly from old-vine parcels and is commendably reliable. Pear and boiled sweet notes segue into a fresh, sappy, tapering palate. (7/18/18)"

89-91 points/'Outstanding/Top Value,' Allen Meadows (Burghound): "(from domaine fruit). A slightly fresher nose speaks of mineral reduction, apple and soft floral scents. There is a lovely sense of energy to the attractively textured, rich and delicious middle weight flavors that possess much better depth and persistence. One to consider. Drink: 2022+. (Oct 2018)"

90+ points John Gilman (View From the Cellar): "The domaine bottling of Chablis AC is also excellent in 2017, with more precision and refinement than in the négociant bottling of Champs Royaux. The nose delivers a fine constellation of green apple, lemon, chalky minerality, orange peel, a bit of beeswax and a lovely floral topnote redolent of lime blossoms. On the palate the wine is bright, full and focused, with a lovely core of fruit, excellent cut and grip and a long, seamless and impressively complex finish. This is a very good AC. 2018-2040. (Nov/Dec 2018)"

90 points William Kelley (Wine Advocate): "The 2017 Chablis Villages is performing even better than it did 12 months ago, wafting from the glass with a pretty bouquet of white flowers, green apple, crisp Anjou pear, orange zest and oyster shell. On the palate, it's medium to full-bodied, elegantly textural and precise, with good depth and amplitude at the core, racy acids and a penetrating finish. This is a lovely example of the appellation that will offer a wide drinking window. Drink: 2019-2029. (8/30/19)"

Bill Nanson (Burgundy Report): "(48 hectares of vines with an average age of 50 years – ‘more than most 1er crus’). Hmm, more vibrant depth, a proper minerality here. Starts with a little softness then takes hold of you – there’s grip, there’s juicy flavour there’s energy – ooh great! (1/17/19)"
