Wines from Chablis
William Fèvre 2006 Les Preuses Grand Cru Chardonnay (Chablis)
- $80
Big, powerful brush strokes of ripe fruits, spice and rich creaminess paint this wine with vividness. The fruit envelops the mouth, the pears, green plums and ripe apples working with a citrus edge. Impressive, and with a great finishing freshness.

Domaine Laroche 2006 Les Clos Grand Cru Chardonnay (Chablis)
- Cellar Selection
- $117
A beautiful, ripe wine that shows the richness of 2006 in Chablis. The wine revels in its yellow fruit flavors, apricots, peaches even pineapple, underscored by new wood flavors. Then acidity comes through, a fresh lift that leaves the wine with a clean, smooth finish. And once these initial fruits soften, the secondary flavors promise some good aging. Screwcap.

Albert Bichot 2006 Domaine Long-Depaquit Moutonne Grand Cru Chardonnay (Chablis)
- $90
This monopole within the Chablis grand cru vineyards produces top Chablis. In 2006, the wine is powerful, but layered with intense minerality, a flinty character on top of the ripe white and yellow fruits. It has concentration, a depth of flavor that is impressive. It will age well.

La Chablisienne 2006 Les Preuses Grand Cru Chardonnay (Chablis)
- Cellar Selection
- $67
This is powerful, typical of Les Preuses. White and yellow fruits are important to the palate, but so are rich, honeyed toast, minerality and an opulent, intense concentration. This is impressive, elegance with power, and worth aging for several years.

La Chablisienne 2006 Château Grenouilles Grand Cru Chardonnay (Chablis)
- Cellar Selection
- $99
The Château Grenouilles vineyard, wholly owned by members of the La Chablisienne cooperative, is in the upper part of Grenouilles Grand Cru. As such, this is major Chablis, a wine that needs maybe 10 years’ aging. But already, you can discern the richness of this wine, its powerful yellow fruits, honey and toast, dense in texture as well as vivid with acidity.

William Fèvre 2007 Bougros Grand Cru Chardonnay (Chablis)
- $75
A big, burly Chablis, beautifully ripe, exhibiting powerful fruits overlaying a core of citrus and apple skin texture. The wine is open, rich, with an enticing juicy character, finished with bright, ripe acidity.

Domaine Christian Moreau Père et Fils 2007 Les Clos Grand Cru Chardonnay (Chablis)
- Cellar Selection
- $81
A wine in two parts. It opens soft, with attractive green and white fruits. Then a tight, steely grip shows through, offering aging as well as a taut mineral character. Give the wine 4–5 years.
— R.V.

William Fèvre 2008 Bougros Grand Cru Chardonnay (Chablis)
- Online Exclusive
- $69
The broad character of Bougros is evident here in this rich and creamy wine. Delicious pear and sweet grapefruit flavors combine easily with a delicate touch of wood, leaving a fine, juicy acidity.
