It seems to me that Fevre overall has underperformed relative to the reviews over the years. I can think of only a couple of older Fevre that were really good (a 2002 Fevre Preuses, and a 2001 Fevre Clos), with a large selection showing premox. Now, the incidence rate of premox in the 2002 Fevre is quite high (since 2010), and premox is starting to show up in the 2004 (since mostly 2012). Obviously when you cannot get to a "properly aged" Chablis due to premox, one limits how well the wine is going to show.
Some younger wines have shown very well, but again, these don't show the characteristics of aged Chablis (an example of which would be the 1996 Dauvissat Clos I had a while back--white flowers, perfectly merged hazelnut and citric flavors).
Vintage characteristics for Fevre:
2000 Fevre: Some good wines at 6-8 years, but my last bottles were oxidized (others seem to have better luck)
2001 Fevre: Surprisingly perhaps, many of these survived better than bottles on either side, despite the slightly lower acidity.
2002 Fevre: Mostly a washout for Fevre, which the rich, almost unctuous style of the vintage (seen as well in the 2002 Dauvissat, for example) turning to candied sherry in many cases. A few people have only had good bottles, but to be quantitative, one would have to check in with more recent tastings. I think the 2002 Chablis were in general over-rated by the critics, who did not recognize perhaps the rich, almost unctuous style of the wines that made them atypical for Chablis (OK, you can say they drink like a Corton Charlemagne, but it does not quite work IMO).
2004 Fevre: Some early bottles of Fevre Clos and Vaillons were beautiful, but the Vaudesir and Clos both turned south (premox) starting this year, at least in my cellar
2005 Fevre: Pretty good vintage for Fevre, with the Clos very backward, the Montee de Tonnerre ready to drink earlier, but lacking the sheer electricity of some later bottles
2006 Fevre: A good vintage for Fevre (relatively) due apparently to their early harvesting, which kept the tropical fruit character down (incompatible in my opinion with Chablis, whenever have your ever seen a pineapple growing in a tidal pool?). By relatively, I mean compared to other producers who harvested later, but still most would agree that 2006 was not a top vintage
2007 Fevre: Not much experience yet, with the exception of a 2007 Fevre les Lys (1er Cru from south side of the river), a delicate, almost lacy wine that seems to have a bit more finesse than some of its neighbors like the Vaillons
2008 Fevre: Seems to be a very good vintage for Fevre so far, with the Montee de Tonnerre a standout. Tasted just a couple of days ago, this blew the 2005 MdT out of the water with its electric palate and lively character.
