  • Goedhuis, December 2022

    Always highly prized, Montée de Tonnerre neighbours the seven Grands Crus vineyards. Fèvre owns three plots amounting to 2 hectares, with the oldest parcel near Blanchot planted in 1936. Fresh pear and Pink Lady apple scent, the palate builds in terms of richness and earthy terroir depth. A lovely, composed nature to this wine, not necessarily powerful, but steely and lively.

  • Burghound, October 2022, Score: 92-94

    A discreet dollop of wood sets off the equally cool and perhaps even slightly more elegant aromas of acacia, citrus, seashore and oyster shell. The sleek and highly sophisticated medium-bodied flavors possess a really lovely texture while delivering superb length on the bitter lemon and mineral-suffused finish. This beautifully balanced effort is crystalline in its purity and a wine that should repay a decade plus of keeping. Drink 2031+

  • Jasper Morris MW, December 2022, Score: 91-94

    Still cloudy after racking. Didier describes the blend as including Chapelot, for sunshine, Pied d’Aloue on marl for freshness, while the Côte de Bréchain provides concentration from the oldest vines (1936). The 2021 Montée de Tonnerre has a very classy nose, without the now habitual sunny yellow fruit, cooler and fresher. All a little bit unknit after racking but the component parts are clearly there, with excellent fresh acidity and length. Drink from 2026-2032. Tasted: June 2022

Domaine William Fèvre

William Fèvre is one of the great names of Chablis, however, in comparison to many estates in the region, William himself was a relative newcomer. He produced his first crop in 1959 and swiftly built up the estate to have substantial holdings in the town of Chablis.

William Fèvre is one of the great names of Chablis, however, in comparison to many estates in the region, William himself was a relative newcomer. He produced his first crop in 1959 and swiftly built up the estate to have substantial holdings in the town of Chablis. By 1998, the year that Champagne legend Joseph Henriot purchased the domaine, it had grown to 48 hectares. During his life, Joseph Henriot further expanded the estate, so today it owns 78 hectares of vineyards, including 16 hectares of 1ers Crus and 15 hectares of Grands Crus. Under the careful direction of technical director Didier Séguier, William Fèvre is a superb example of how big can be beautiful. The vineyard management for the village wines is organic and the 1ers Crus and Grands Crus vineyards have been biodynamic since 2020. Ensuring his wines embody true terroir style is hugely important to Didier. He avoids new oak for ageing and counts his blessings that sister winery, Bouchard Père Fils in Beaune, is an unlimited source of 2–5-year casks for maturation of his Chablis.Read less

Region

Chablis

Chablis is world famous for its fine white wines produced from the Chardonnay grape. The best vineyards are perched above the winding Serein river and are south or southwest facing ensuring better ripeness in this cooler climate. It has four appellation levels. Petit Chablis is the most modest and simple followed by Chablis, which is the largest and most prominent. Premier cru Chablis is the third largest appellation and encompasses almost 40 different climats or vineyards including the famed Montée de Tonnerre, Fourchaumes and Mont de Milieu. The most noble of all Chablis are the grand crus of which there are 7 climats in total Bougros, Les Preuses, Vaudésir, Grenouilles, Valmur, Les Clos and Blanchot. The wines of Chablis have remained some of the best value in the world, particularly their superb grand crus which can easily cost 50% less than its closest revered white grand cru neighbour, Corton Charlemagne.
