Simonnet-Febvre 2007 Les Clos Grand Cru Chardonnay (Chablis)
- Cellar Selection
- $70
Still tasting young, with its lemon and lime flavors dominant, this is going to be a serious, mineral-driven wine. It has plenty of fruit, but it is caged in a firm, tight texture of green fruits. Obviously it needs aging.

Simonnet-Febvre 2009 Les Clos Chardonnay (Chablis)
- Cellar Selection
- $70
A tight and steely wine, very much in its infancy. It is taut, the texture dominated by green apple skins, herbs, some light toast. This is a complex, impressive wine, its rich fruit still to show. Keep for 4–5 years and more.

Simonnet-Febvre 2006 Preuses Grand Cru Chardonnay (Chablis)
- Cellar Selection
- $70
Powerful wine that goes for the big, opulent style. Yet it has the serious intent and structure of a great wine, its minerality intense, the tropical fruits balanced with concentrated acidity. This is a wine that needs at least five years’ aging.

Simonnet-Febvre 2006 Les Clos Grand Cru Chardonnay (Chablis)
- $70
While Les Clos is less well known than some other grands crus, it does give an impressively complete wine. Initially rounded, it then shows some many other facets. All the elements are here, the proper steely core, the rich white and yellow fruits, and the shaft of acidity that cuts through the wood and the richness.

Simonnet-Febvre 2007 Blanchot Grand Cru Chardonnay (Chablis)
- $70
A broad, fat wine, showing soft white fruits and a definite amount of toast. Only towards the end does juicy acidity show through. It feels not yet fully integrated, so hold off a year.

Simonnet-Febvre 2008 Preuses Chardonnay (Chablis)
- Cellar Selection
- $70
This powerful wine reveals its style and breeding from the start. It has weight and concentration allied to great tangy fruit flavors. The nervy edge is very evident, with wood, structure from green apple skins and aging potential.

Simonnet-Febvre 2008 Blanchots Chardonnay (Chablis)
- $70
Taut and edgy, very steely in character, with almost an austere character in its youth. Its fruits are definitely on the citrus side of the spectrum, crisp yet rich as well. The acidity shoots right through the wine.

Simonnet-Febvre 2009 Blanchot Chardonnay (Chablis)
- Online Exclusive
- $70
Packed with rich fruit as well as minerality, the wine has all the right tension of Chablis while benefiting from the warm pear, peach and almond flavors. The citrus edge is very Chablis.
