Love White Burgundy but can't stand spending $50+ a bottle? If there is one name in Burgundy synonymous with superlative, long-lasting Chablis then it is undoubtedly William Fevre. We love his high elevation projects, so when we heard he made an elegant, Burgundian style Chardonnay from clones he imported to Chile 25 years ago, we quickly purchased every case he had coming to the US. The cool coastal winds that blow in from the Pacific Ocean toward the Andes Mountains pair up with a moderating climate to allow the grapes to ripen slowly, which intensifies the flavors while allowing both elegance and freshness in their white wines. Vibrant aromas of citrus, apples, and vanilla with a creamy medium-bodied palate, and toasty oak flavors balanced by crisp acidity. Amazing for the price!
"This Chardonnay comes from the Andes, about 900 meters above sea level, from vineyards planted in 2007 in Alto Maipo, in the San Juan de Pirque area—the land of cabernet sauvignon—and also very good chardonnays like this one. It's creamy, with ripe aromas and a light touch of butter. The finish is full of fruit and acidity that refreshes and invites a second glass." Patricio Tapia, Descorchados 91 Points
