2018 Chablis, 1er Cru Montmain, Domaine William Fevre (6 x Bottle)
The 2018 Chablis Montmains 1er Cru is more malic and steely on the nose compared to the Vaulorent or Fourchaume, the scents of sea spray, Granny Smith apples and limestone gaining good intensity with modest aeration. The palate is well balanced with a penetrating, spicy entry, very saline, almost peppery; hints of asparagus and kiwi fruit emerge toward the finish. I appreciate the austerity of this Montmains in what was a warm growing season. One of Fevre’s more divisive wines, but personally, I like this.

Revealing notions of green apple, white flowers, spring blossom and iodine, the 2018 Chablis 1er Cru Montmains is medium to full-bodied, tangy and tensile, with promising outlines and a mineral finish. I expect it to perform very well once it fleshes out with further élevage.

The 2018 Chablis Montmains 1er Cru is rich and radiant – and yet retains a striking sense of floral airiness that is both hugely appealing and also a fabulous contrast to the natural intensity of the year. Yellow orchard fruit, wild flowers, mint and lemon peel are all beautifully lifted in this gracious, elegant Chablis. All the elements are simply in the right place.
