William Fèvre Chablis 1er Cru Les Lys – Domaine 2022

Chablis 1er Cru

October 14, 2024 - William Fèvre Premier Cru Les Lys is a refined expression of the Vaillons climat, drawn from a 0.99-hectare plot once owned by French royalty. Located on an eastern-facing slope with clay soils over Kimmeridgian limestone, this site yields wines of notable elegance and finesse. Gentle handling in the cellar via gravity flow, light pressing, and fermentation on fine lees preserves purity and detail. The wine ages 13 to 14 months, with partial élevage in older French oak. It offers a floral, mineral-driven bouquet, supple texture, and a graceful, lingering finish.

Wine Advocate -January 01, 1970 “Always one of the more quintessentially Chablisien wines in the range, the 2022 Chablis 1er Cru Les Lys offers up notes of citrus oil, white flowers, wet stones and oyster…

Burghound -October 10, 2025 "There is a certain coolness to the otherwise ripe aromas of apple, pear, sea breeze and quinine. The succulent and unusually rich middleweight flavors are also nicely refined while flashing…

William Fèvre Chablis 1er Cru Vaillons – Domaine 2022

Chablis 1er Cru

October 14, 2024 - Vaillons is one of Chablis's largest Premier Crus, distinguished by its Portlandian limestone soils sitting above the Kimmeridgian, which give the wine a fresher, more mineral character and a generous roundness. Domaine William Fèvre's 3.65-hectare holding spans four southeast-facing lieux-dits on the left bank of the Serein, producing one of the most approachable and expressive Premier Crus in the range.

Wine Advocate -January 01, 1970 “Delivering scents of orange oil, white flowers and oyster shell, the 2022 Chablis 1er Cru Vaillons is medium to full-bodied, satiny and suave, with racy acids and a saline finish,…

Frescobaldi Tenuta Castiglioni Tenuta Frescobaldi 2022

Toscana IGT

November 14, 2024 - A compelling blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, and Sangiovese, the Tenuta Frescobaldi Toscana IGT combines the best of Bordeaux blends with the classic Central Tuscan character of Sangiovese. So named because Tenuta Castiglioni is truly the original “home” of the Frescobaldi family, this wine offers an enticing taste of Tuscany by the glass or at home.

James Suckling -July 25, 2024 "Attractive notes of dark cherries, chocolate, oranges, red spices and lavender. Medium-bodied and structured but very fine and nicely filled with fruit. Succulent and long, with a polished finish."

Tenuta CastelGiocondo Ripe al Convento Brunello Riserva 2019

Brunello Di Montalcino DOCG

November 14, 2024 - Ripe al Convento’s name signifies both the ripeness that the Sangiovese grapes are able to achieve and the almost sacred single-vineyard site where they are grown. Sitting on the highest hills of the CastelGiocondo estate at 450 meters above sea level, this small single vineyard is exposed to the warm afternoon sun, marly soils and bracing Mediterranean winds. Aged an extra year in wood, Ripe al Convento is not only a reserve wine by law–it is the ultimate expression of the estate.
