Artisan Vineyard Notes
Characteristics: Fevre Chablis Les Clos 2008
It would be heresy in Chablisien circles to declare Les Clos an emperor without clothes but I am that boy; rarely fond of this most famous Grand Cru. However, 2008 is a vintage for Les Clos; resplendent in all its fabled finery. I tasted three vintners’ 2008 Les Clos during a visit in March. It was eye opening.
The Fevre is now in the warehouse. We bought far more than we would usually because this is such a special wine, a Les Clos for the ages. The fragrance is ethereal, citrus zest and cold tangerine juices adorning the classic Les Clos stoniness like soft moss on a river rock. Hugely substantive in the mouth without being weighty, finely textured. The flavours flow like a sonnet mimicking the fragrances but with macerated lemon grass and basil besides; astounding minerality.
I bought a case for my own cellar. Is it expensive? Of course, it’s Les Clos but pound of pleasure per Pound Sterling this wine is bargain. A Chablis of a lifetime. – Wine Review by LAC

Expert Review
94 Points - "Clean and focused, with apple, lemon, yellow plum and mineral notes riding a firm structure. This is balanced, with
a chalklike texture and a savory element on the finish. There’s fine clarity and loads of power in reserve. Best from 2013 through 2025."
- Wine Review by B.S., Wine Spectator, August 2010

Riedel Sommeliers Chablis/Chardonnay
Description: In 1973, in Orvieto, Claus Riedel presented the world's first gourmet glass series developed with the help of the Associazione
Italiana Sommeliers (A.I.S.). The Sommeliers series was developed further by his son Georg,
into an all-embracing state-of-the-art wine glass collection. Praised in 1991 by Robert Parker, Jr, as "The finest glasses for both technical and hedonistic purposes are those made by Riedel. The effect of these
glasses on fine wine is profound. I cannot emphasize enough what a difference they make."
Each glass is individually made: the upper parts blown into a mould, the stem and base hand-crafted using methods developed at the time of Christ's birth.
Sommeliers are executed in over 24% lead crystal.
This glass can also be used with the following wines: Albariño, Bordeaux White, Folle Blanche, Lagrein, Pinot Blanc, Pinot Grigio, Pinot Gris, Rhone Blanc, Torrontes, Verdelho, Vernaccia, Viognier, Virua, Zweigelt.

Description: Introduced in 1986, Vinum was the first machine-made series of glasses in history to be based exclusively on the characteristics of quality, reasonable price and wide distribution.
