Such a great Chablis Les Clos that shows very little with its huge depth of minerality. Shy, timid and discreet, with its lightly smoky minerality, seashells, lime and chopped herbs. Full-bodied but effortless and chalky with no heft to it. Long, taut and al dente. Drink from 2028.

This is a grandiose Clos with exceptional power and dimension—built for the long run. Its nose is currently reticent, but its palate is loquacious with bushels of just-picked citrus, pear slices, straw, warm grains and salt farm breezes. Exceptionally fresh, especially for the vintage, this is artfully chiseled on the palate. There are 4.11 ha here—the largest holding in Les Clos.

Year after year, Fèvre's Les Clos is among the great wines of Chablis. In 2023, the pronounced aromas range from grapefruit to nectarine and green apple, laden with pungent, salty mineral notes and a little smoky reduction – a bit of everything, really. The texture is dense, almost impenetrable at this age, but enlivened by a lovely hint of bitterness at the end. It is truly a wine for the ages. Ideally wait a decade before opening; this wine will last at least 40 years.(CC)

After the fireworks of the les Preuses and Côte de Bouguerots, I always approach Domaine Fèvre’s les Clos as if there could not possibly be yet another level of quality here, but it always manages to land just a touch higher in the hierarchy than the two magical wines that preceded it in the tasting! The 2023 les Clos is stellar, offering up a vibrant bouquet of apple, pear, lime, beeswax, a gorgeous base of chalky soil tones, raw almond, citrus zest and a topnote of white flowers. On the palate the wine is deep, full-bodied, complex and perfectly balanced, with a beautiful core of fruit, a superb girdle of acidity, superb mineral drive and cut and a long, seamlessly balanced and complex finish. Great juice. 2033-2070.

Notes
Les Clos is the largest and best-known of the Chablis grand crus, set on a steep, south-facing slope above the village on classic Kimmeridgian limestone. Domaine William Fèvre farms one of the most significant parcels in the climat, and its cellar work is typically measured, with élevage split between stainless steel and older French oak rather than overt new wood.
