One of the rarest Grand crus from Fevre we have yet to offer is the 2020 Valmur, but today we have a very limited amount at this special pricing. As we have said before, the 2020s here are magnificent and account for some of the best wines Fevre has ever produced, with stunning examples throughout the entire range. 2020 is also the first year Fevre has officially converted to organics after 15 years of practicing at the Domaine. The 2020s have profound complexity, and while they aren't as concentrated as the '19s, they are a bit more typical and dazzling examples of the vintage. While the Preuses, Clos, and Côte Bouguerots get all the attention, the Valmur is still a fantastic wine from Fevre that flies a bit further under the radar and is also available at a slightly lower price. 2020 is an excellent example of this vineyard, a textbook example of Valmur, and possibly the most classically styled Grand Cru this vintage from Fevre. This plays to Chablis's classical flavors and aromas with outstanding mineral drive, acidity, and impressive complexity. This is one of the Grand Crus from Fevre that we really recommend, and when you compare this to Raveneau's Valmur, which albeit slightly better, but over $1,000 a bottle, Fevres Version becomes an incredible buy for the vineyard. We have special pricing today on a limited amount, and it is another not to miss 2020 from Fevre.
Wine Advocate (William Kelley) 95+ points! "Unwinding in the glass with aromas of peach, lemon oil, freshly baked bread, oyster shell and struck match, Fèvre's 2020 Chablis Grand Cru Valmur is full-bodied, concentrated and incisive, with a racy, electric profile and a searingly saline, intensely penetrating finish of striking persistence. This is a terrific Valmur that will merit at least a decade's patience to reveal all its considerable potential."
John Gilman 95 points! "The 2020 Valmur from Domaine Fèvre is also an absolute classic in the making. The wine delivers a superb bouquet of apple, pear, beeswax, a complex base of limestone minerality, white lilies, fruit blossoms and a topnote of paraffin. On the palate the wine is pure, precise and full-bodied, with a properly reserved personality out of the blocks, great depth at the core, magical soil signature and a long, vibrant and snappy finish of excellent balance and grip. This is even a bit more structured than the Vaudésir and will need plenty of bottle age, but it will be stellar when it is truly ready to drink."
Burghound 94 points! "Much like the Vaulorent, the nose instantly confirms with conviction that this could be from nowhere else but Chablis with its airy array of citrus rind, sea breeze, quinine and smoky green fruit aromas. There is excellent size, weight and richness to the broad-shouldered yet sleek flavors if not nearly the same refinement on the powerful and driving finish. This even more firmly structured effort is impressive as well, though with an entirely different texture."
Jasper Morriw MW (Inside Burgundy) 93-96 points! "The holding is on the crest with lots of kimmeridgian powdered marl. A more intense green and pale gold colour. The primroses are out. So too are the spices. Like Vaudésir, the yields are relatively low here in 2020 at 35 hl/ha. Very powerful but the teeth are coated in Chablisian mineral freshness."
