2013 Domaine William Fèvre Chablis Grand Cru Bougros Côte Bouguerots
5/19/2024 - acidqueen wrote: 92 Points
Light color. Like my bottle last fall this is fresh, floral with light stone notes. Lime and fennel. It is missing some depth but it is well worth drinking. Just not sure it will improve from here but I will probably hold back a few bottles to see if it does. We had a 2013 Dauvissat AOC Chablis before this and the contrast was remarkable. The Dauvissat was darker, reduced, intense and broody with mineral edge. I think I liked the Dauvissat better.

2014 Château Rauzan-Ségla

Bright, fresh cassis and cherry fruit. Fine acids and medium tannins. Very polished but not simple. Easy to drink now but will improve for at least 5 years.
As noted later, I decanted the wine for an hour before drinking, and it needed it. This wine is not a light-weight, but it is quite approachable now with the decant.
Also, we drank this with a rare ribeye steak, and it held up very well as you would expect. The wine would have overwhelmed something lighter at this point in its evolution.

2013 Vincent Dauvissat (René & Vincent) Chablis

Dark gold color as my last bottles, but not at all old. Very reduced. Needs some air before drinking. Not typical, perhaps, but still clearly Chablis. Stony, quinine, some white jasmine after time.
