Simonnet-Febvre Description
Founded in 1840, and today directed by Jean-Philippe Archambaud, Maison Simonnet-Febvre is a traditional Chablis winery. The winery owns vineyards in Chablis, Chablis Premier Cru "Mont de Milieu" and Chablis Grand Cru "Les Preuses." It produces and vinifies a large range of different wines from the diverse terroirs of the Chablis region. Maison Simonnet-Febvre also produces and vinifies wines from the historic Yonne vineyards. These vineyards were destroyed by the phyllexera crisis that hit the area in the 19th century. It has been progressively replanted and has today regained its prestige. Based in Chablis and the new winery in Chitry-le-Fort, traditional winemaking methods and modern technologies are combined to fully express the characters of these very unique vineyards.
Tasting Notes: This is a mineral and complex wine of a high quality level. It is dry, firm and austere and hence it needs to be aged for a while. When the wine has been aged it develops more aromas such as: candied fruits, vanilla, hazelnuts, toasted bread, with buttery notes and hints of tobacco.
James Suckling: 93 Points
Attractive balance of creaminess and ripe acidity on the medium-bodied palate. Lovely interplay of
floral-honey and chalky character on the generous finish.
