Professional Ratings

    This has a very fresh and pure lemon nose with iodine, wet-chalk and spiced almond-biscuit notes. The palate has a stunning array of lemons, peaches and grapefruit with a seamless, pastry-like texture and a late, flinty twist to the succulent, grapefruit finish. Drink or hold.

    COMMENTARY: The Premier Cru Vineyard Montmains always seems to conduct business as usual; I have often been a fan of this site. The 2017 Domaine William Fèvre Montmains rocks with the best of them. TASTING NOTES: This wine delivers, perhaps without a lot of bells and whistles. Its aromas and flavors of peach fuzz, ripe citrus, and bright minerality should pair it well with Cantonese-style lobster noodles. (Tasted: March 14, 2019, San Francisco, CA)

    The 2017 Chablis 1er Cru Montmains is showing well, offering up notes of crisp green orchard fruit, white flowers and subtle hints of oyster liquor. On the palate, the wine is medium to full-bodied, blocky and chalky, still a little shut down after its recent bottling but with the depth and energy to develop well with a few years in the cellar.

    Though rich in texture, this white is concentrated and expressive, displaying apple, lemon and mineral flavors, defined by bracing acidity and tailing off on the finish. Drink now through 2024.

One of the most popular and versatile white wine grapes, Chardonnay offers a wide range of flavors and styles depending on where it is grown and how it is made. While it tends to flourish in most environments, Chardonnay from its Burgundian homeland produces some of the most remarkable and longest lived examples. California produces both oaky, buttery styles and leaner, European-inspired wines. Somm Secret—The Burgundian subregion of Chablis, while typically using older oak barrels, produces a bright style similar to the unoaked style. Anyone who doesn't like oaky Chardonnay would likely enjoy Chablis.

The source of the most racy, light and tactile, yet uniquely complex Chardonnay, Chablis, while considered part of Burgundy, actually reaches far past the most northern stretch of the Côte d’Or proper. Its vineyards cover hillsides surrounding the small village of Chablis about 100 miles north of Dijon, making it actually closer to Champagne than to Burgundy. Champagne and Chablis have a unique soil type in common called Kimmeridgian, which isn’t found anywhere else in the world except southern England. A 180 million year-old geologic formation of decomposed clay and limestone, containing tiny fossilized oyster shells, spans from the Dorset village of Kimmeridge in southern England all the way down through Champagne, and to the soils of Chablis. This soil type produces wines full of structure, austerity, minerality, salinity and finesse.

Chablis Grands Crus vineyards are all located at ideal elevations and exposition on the acclaimed Kimmeridgian soil, an ancient clay-limestone soil that lends intensity and finesse to its wines. The vineyards outside of Grands Crus are Premiers Crus, and outlying from those is Petit Chablis. Chablis Grand Cru, as well as most Premier Cru Chablis, can age for many years.
