Oily lime and slate. Sea spray, oyster shells, hints of white pepper. Perfectly balanced. Succulent and vivid. Long. Really good — 9 months ago
Double decant and pour. A wondrous lite golden straw color. On the nose: a subdued nose of pear, pineapple, oyster shells, pine, nutty vanilla. Taste: A chalky, oily, layered wine with lemon-lime, apple, limestone, peach, and a mineral dried coconut medium plus finish. YUM!! — a year ago

Despite the premox issues plaguing these early 2000s Fèvres, I held on to my 3 bottles for proper aging. My bottles were going to hit their prime drinking window or die trying

Even more giving than the last time I had 17 nearly one year ago, it’s rocking right off the bat tonight showing tremendous power and intensity in its layers of clean orchard fruit, crushed oyster shells, savory algae and citrus blossoms. It’s so concentrated, detailed and laser focused and it continued to evolve texturally, gaining so much weight and expanding on the palate before a finish that just keeps going. Simply electric, and one of the absolute greats of the vintage. — 7 months ago

It would be the Clavoillon that isn’t poxed.

Deep golden color with a citrus undertone and distinct minerality, if not oyster shells. Delightfully pleasant wine. — 3 months ago
