Fèvre/William Chablis Les Preuses Grand Cru 2015

96 points Tim Atkin, MW: "The Fèvre Preuses comes from two parcels, facing east and southwest, respectively, making 2.5 hectares in total. This sees 50% barrel fermentation, but it’s deftly folded into the wine. Structured, firm and quite backward, with masses of underlying fruit power, it’s a rare 2015 that will reward cellaring. 2020-30. (Jan 2017)"

95 points John Gilman (View From the Cellar): "The 2015 les Preuses from Domaine Fèvre is also a great wine in the making and it will be fun to compare its evolution over the coming decades to that of the Valmur. The wine is gorgeously complex on both the nose and palate out of the blocks, soaring from the glass in a blend of apple, par, beeswax, chalky minerality, a touch of tangerine and a topnote of dried flowers. On the palate the wine is deep, full-bodied, young and very mineral in profile, with a superb core, laser-like focus and a very, very long and racy finish. Classic juice. 2020-2050. (Nov/Dec 2016)"

95 points (17.5/20) La Revue du Vin de France: "A kind of austerity defines Les Preuses, serene and taut, endowed with fine spicy touches and invigorating chalky flavors, and refined sparkle and length. Penetrating, chiseled but unpretentious, it radiates on the palate. (2018)"

94 points Stephen Tanzer (Vinous): "Pale, bright yellow. More feminine on the nose than the Valmur, offering aromas of citrus fruits, pear and white flowers plus a soupçon of oak spice. Very silky, seamless and refined but also shows terrific intensity and floral lift. Harmonious acidity leavens the density of this wine, giving it an almost weightless impression in the mouth. Perfectly integrated and balanced from the start. The impressively long, rising finish features piquant notes of citrus peel, minerals and flowers. I'd give this fine-grained beauty a good five years in the cellar before pulling the cork. Drink: 2022-2030. (Aug 2017)"

93 points Allen Meadows (Burghound): "(from two parcels of vines that total 2.55 ha, or 22% of the entire appellation). Once again there is a subtle but not invisible application of wood setting off the more elegant aromas of green fruit, almond, citrus, floral, spice and quinine. The super-intense, delineated and vibrant middle weight plus flavors possess both good richness but also the hallmark refinement of a fine Preuses, all wrapped in a more complex and sneaky long finish. Lovely. Drink: 2023+. (Oct 2017)"
