Domaine William Fevre Chablis 1er Cru Montmains 2023

$8399

Montmains is a left-bank Premier Cru known for cutting-edge precision, and in Fevre's hands the site shows its steeliest face. The domaine sits among the largest landholders in Chablis, and a quietly modernized cellar under longtime winemaker Didier Seguier has kept the classical Chablis signature intact: oyster shell, chalk, a faint reductive grip. The 2023 is built around fine acidity and a long, salty finish, with green apple and grapefruit threading through. Built for the table and for the cellar.

"A domaine wine composed of <40% Butteaux plus 30% each of Forêts and Montmains proper. An exuberantly fresh nose speaks of mineral reduction, prominent floral, oyster shell and essence of pear scents. There is again solid volume and richness to the seductively textured middle weight flavors that possess just a bit more finishing verve as well as more evident minerality. Here too there is a touch of warmth but it's not really enough to materially impair the overall sense of balance."

"From 3.8 hectares of vines on a late ripening terroir, the 2023 Chablis Montmains 1er Cru was the last to be picked. It has a fresh nose, Granny Smith and light shucked oyster shell scents. The palate is well balanced with fine acidity, steelier than the Beauroy with a slightly abrupt finish at the moment. Today, it is just a little raw, hence my prudent score." —Neal Martin

"Sourced from a large 3.8-hectare south- and southeast-facing site, where individual parcels are harvested and vinified separately, the 2023 Chablis 1er Cru Montmains reveals aromas of Granny Smith apple, jasmine, pear and oyster shell. Medium- to full-bodied, the palate is taut and racy, concluding with a saline finish." —Kristaps Karklins

"In the hands of Fèvre winemaker Didier Séguier, premier cru Montmains has a certain initial reserve. But with time, the green apple and gooseberry notes, touched with acacia blossoms and spice, open up on the palate. The texture is lively and fresh, yet there is substance here as well. The grapes are assembled from 10 parcels throughout Montmains, including some in Forêts and Butteaux. Séguier explains that Butteaux is deep in the valley and further from the Serein so it ripens later. The grapes are fermented in tank and older casks for 40–50% of the harvest."

"There’s a sleek feel to this white despite its rich texture, revealing lemon, apple and flint flavors, plus a hint of honey. Harmonious and enticing, this ends with citrus and stone elements. Shows fine expression and length."
