#66 Wine Enthusiast Top 100 of 2020

William Fevre’s Champs Royaux Chablis is impressively precise, delivering a nose of citrus fruits, flowers, green apple and flinty flavors of wet stone in the mid-palate with a beautifully clean finish. Fresh, supple, it is marked by mineral notes, typical of the appellation.

A perfect accompaniment for shellfish menus, grilled fish, oysters, and sushi – but would also work well with many roast chicken recipes seasoned with fresh herbs such as thyme or tarragon.

A subtle hint of tangerine on the nose dissipates to leave ripe lemon brightness. The palate is beautifully concentrated, juicy and fresh, brimming with lemon-edged Mirabelle fruitiness. A chalky depth anchors everything in more coolness despite the ripe, rounded vintage.

COMMENTARY: The William Fèvre Champs Royaux Chablis has always been built for success, and the 2018 vintage is on cue. TASTING NOTES: This wine is wild, tart, and crisp. Enjoy its beautifully appointed aromas and flavors of green apples and wild herbs with sardines on a toasted baguette. (Tasted: November 20, 2020, San Francisco, CA)
