RATINGS

96Wine Enthusiast

...bright lemon notes... The palate comes in with compact concentration and bundled but buffered energy. Drive and verve are packed in 2018's generosity, with a slender, bright core that conveys mouthwatering refreshment. The chalky finish is long and fresh.

94The Wine Advocate

...wafting from the glass with pretty aromas of orange blossom, oyster shells, citrus zest and fresh pear. Medium to full-bodied, satiny and incisive...ample but precise, with racy acids and an intensely saline, mineral finish.

94James Suckling

Lots of bitter-lemon character with dried apples, steel and some dried white pineapple. Full-bodied with bright acidity and a fruity finish.

93+ Vinous / IWC

The palate is well balanced with a lightly spiced opening...viscous...spicy leitmotif of Preuses.

92.6CellarTracker

92Wine Spectator

Ripe notes of peach and green plum are offset by wild herb and bitter citrus peel...finishes on the compact side, with fine length.

17+ Jancis Robinson

Brooding and smoky, with an abundance of chalkiness and spice through the long finish.

PRODUCER

William Fevre

Domaine William Fevre is a 120-acre domaine in Chablis, Burgundy. The Fevre family has been in Chablis for more than two centuries and for much of the 20th century their Chablis wines have been highly sought after. The estate has Grand Cru parcels in Bougros, Les Clos, Grenouilles, Les Preuses, Valmur and Vaudesir, as well as premier cru parcels. In 1998 when William Fevre retired the domaine was sold to Henriot Champagne, already the proprietors of Bouchard Pere et Fils. Burgundy writer Clive Coates notes that when it was sold “it was first class operation then; it is even better now….This is a classy setup, producing very classy wines.” There is also a William Fevre negociant.
