There really is no better place to get a read on Chablis than Fèvre because the range is so vast. Winemaker Didier Séguier describes 2018 as a sunny vintage. “The key in years like 2018 is to pick early,” he explained. “In the end, 2018 is a ripe year, like 2015 or 2009, but without the excesses of 2003.” Harvest started on September 3. As readers will see from these notes, the 2018s showed quite well. Moreover, I found the wines to be quite expressive of site, which is not the case at every address. The 2017s are the result of a challenging vintage marked by 8-9 days of brutal cold and poor weather during flowering. Séguier adds that the fruit was very clean at harvest. The 2017s are brilliant across the board. Readers will find wines with tons of energy, freshness and verve, all typical of a classic vintage for Chablis.
