Tasting notes
Neat, lively and tense and again with all tucked in, but a little workmanlike and quite astringent. (JR)

Bright, pale, green-tinged color. Very pure aromas of quinine, grapefruit and wet stone. Ripe and dense, with lovely bright fruit and an underlying mineral spine. Dense, slow-mounting finish shows lovely ripeness and depth of flavor. Still a lot more to come. Based on this and the '01 sample, Fevre Vaillons appears to be one of the strongest examples of this premier cru.
