William Fevre’s 2021 Chablis is a beautiful golden lemon color in the glass. The wine shows a complex and delicate bouquet of scents, with notes of lemon rind, a touch of lime, a hint of limestone, a bit of pineapple, white blossoms, and a subtle yeasty bread-like note. On the palate, the wine is vivid and vibrant, with juicy flavors of lemon meringue, tart pineapple, and ripe yellow apple. The acidity is sky high. While the wine is engaging and interesting, it loses some of the nuance and delicacy that one might hope to find in Chablis.
