With a human commitment to working the soil and respecting biodiversity, Domaine William Fèvre does its utmost to express the subtlest variations of Chablis Climats.
Vintage 2018 Chablis Grand Cru Les Clos
The historic cradle of Chablis vineyards, Les Clos is the largest and most famous Chablis Grand Cru. Pale gold in color, the 2018 Cuvée Les Clos reveals a floral and fruity bouquet of remarkable complexity, with notes of white-fleshed fruit and hawthorn. The palate is very complex, seductive in its balance. A great wine, ideal for festive meals. Often considered the best of the seven Grands Crus, Les Clos seduces with its powerful, intense notes, typical of its terroir, and shows great long-term ageing potential.
