2023, Domaine William Fèvre, CHABLIS, 1er Cru, 'Beauroy'The 2023 Chablis Beauroy 1er Cru had just been pumped so it was extremely cloudy in the glass as they keep the lees. The bouquet is well defined with light marine oyster shell scents. The palate is balanced with pleasing fatness on the entry, not a steely or austere Beauroy. A sunny Chablis that has a "smile" on the finish. 88 90 Neal Martin, Vinous (2024). A step up in tension, the 2023 Chablis 1er Cru Beauroy, sourced from a high maturity site

10% Cabernet Franc and 11% Merlot

This is already delicious and

the 2024 Pensées de Lafleur is a sensual and remarkably pure expression of the vintage

Ramiro Ibanez and Willy Pérez are a talented duo producing one of the region's great white wines

with tangy acidity

though a decade's patience is warmly advised

Harvest September 3 to 15
