Vaillons is a warm, sunny premier cru, and Fèvre has 3.5 hectares plum in the middle of the slope. Their 55 year old vines produce concentration and ripeness in the wine. The 2019 has thrilling acidity to balance the ripe white fruit of the palate. They picked early here, and have captured the vibrant energy of the vintage.

A slightly riper and quite dense nose features notes of white pepper, quinine, mineral reduction and a combination of orchard fruit compote scents. There is excellent volume to the sappy and powerful flavors that, somewhat surprisingly, flirt with rusticity on the noticeably warm bitter lemon-inflected finish. Like the Beauroy, this is not a Vaillons of finesse, but it certainly cannot be faulted for a lack of frank character.
