“There really is no better place to get a read on Chablis than Fèvre.” – Vinous

Top Secret! Today only – two unbelievable Chablis deals – so crazy they could only be Dual Deep Covers!

(Check out the other one from Louis Moreau here!)

We could hear Agent Brut shout all the way from his office downstairs, “We got more Fèvre?!!!”

“Hell yeah, we did!” At over 60% off with a pristine tension between weight and racy freshness, loaded with an electric minerality – Oh, and 97pts (with a stunning four 95pt reviews to back it up) – this deal is too good to be true!

You likely remember last year’s mid-summer mission – three Grand Crus and two Premier Crus from Fèvre – one of the top Chablis producers of all time – at unbelievable prices!

So when our source asked if we might be interested in this small allocation of one of their top rated wines of the 2020 vintage, at even a better deal… We couldn’t hold back!!!

Some insider info from last year may help explain this extraordinary opportunity… per Wine Spectator “The owners of Château Latour and Château Lafite Rothschild have made a deal over a Chablis winery… to sell top Chablis producer Domaine William Fèvre to Domaines Barons de Rothschild Lafite for an undisclosed sum.”

A genre-defining New York Times article once pointed out that “Chablis is home to a pair of producers, Raveneau and Dauvissat, who have long been critics’ favorites. Their wines are old-school icons, but unless you have considerable patience, you might struggle to understand what the fuss is about, or even to find them. More consistently appealing are the wines of another long-established estate, William Fèvre. This is perhaps the greatest landowner in Chablis, with vines in all 7 of the appellation’s Grand Cru vineyards.”

On offer today, one of their best Grand Crus!!!

Let’s talk prices. Dauvissat’s 2020 Preuses goes for close to $500 a bottle! Raveneau – don’t even think about it. Some of their Premier Crus go for that. We think this is a great deal, even at the full SRP or $199! Today, over 60% off?! BOOM.

Les Preuses! This is the Grand Cru to get by the case in 2020, the Cru being the one with the most sun exposure amongst the 7, resulting in riper, more forward styles… Wow, just WOW. The bad news – there isn’t much to go around. Gimme a minute while I snag a few… Okay, I’m back, where were we? Losing my mind here. NOT A JOKE, dear Ops, though it may seem like one.

Grab what you can, while you can.

97 Points – John Gilman “The 2020 les Preuses from Domaine Fèvre was one of the finest white wines I tasted from the entire vintage during my trip in November and December. The perfect ripeness of the vintage, coupled to such great acidity are the hallmarks of the best wines of 2020 and these attributes are on full display in this stunning young wine. The nose soars from the glass in a mineral bath of les Preuses Kimmeridgian limestone terroir, carrying notes of apple, pear, fresh lime, straw, oyster shell, white flowers and a topnote of beeswax. On the palate the wine is pure, precise, snappy and very, very complex, with great depth at the core, stunning mineral definition, laser-like focus and stunning length and grip on the simply beautiful young finish. All this great wine needs is time in the cellar to blossom. Drink 2031-2080”

95 Points – Burghound “Aromas of quinine, essence of wet stone and seashore add breadth to the nose of pear, apple and anise. Once again, there is fine density and intensity to the mouthcoating medium-weight flavors that flash outstanding length on the bracingly saline-suffused finale. This has already developed very good depth and more will almost surely follow. This is potentially outstanding.”

95 Points – Tim Atkin MW “From the heart of Preuses, this wine has density, glycerol, chewiness and tension that all make it clear this is a wine of consequence. In total, there are 2.5 hectares chez Fèvre,of which one is western-facing. Hence, there’s lots of sunny vinosity with exuberant orchard fruits. The textured, chalky finish offers good grip. Drink 2024-2040.”

95 Points – Wine Advocate “The 2020 vintage makes the first year of official organic conversion for 78-hectare Domaine William Fèvre, though it’s actually the 15th year the estate has been practicing organic. Didier Séguier reported that the year’s challenges were twofold: having to pick harvest dates with unerring precision, and the necessity to sort out sunburnt grapes. The results, however, are once again exceptional, and it’s hard to think of any of Chablis’s larger estates that can match Fèvre for consistency and quality across the board. The 2020s, as ever bottled under Diam, are certainly built to evolve gracefully, but they will also show their cards sooner than the spectacular but hyper-concentrated 2019s. The 2020 Chablis Grand Cru Les Preuses is, if anything, even more electric than the formidable Valmur, wafting from the glass with notions of citrus oil, freshly baked bread, oyster jus and wet stones. Full-bodied, satiny and chiseled, it’s racy and intense, with a bright spine of acidity and a long, intensely saline finish. Drink 2027 – 2050.”
