RATINGS

94The Wine Advocate

...pure and ethereal, mingling notes of citrus soil, wet stones and white flowers... Full-bodied, satiny and suave, it's refined and glossy, with racy acids and a saline finish.

94-96Vinous / IWC

...superb delineation and mineralité...palate is harmonious and poised, very focused and tensile, plenty of energy with a touch of lime and clementine towards the persistent finish.

93-96Burghound.com

A deft application of wood frames the beautifully elegant nose of essence of pear, green apple, acacia blossom, lemon rind and a plethora of classic Chablis scents...dense and unusually powerful large-scaled flavors...a massively persistent and even more complex finale...wonderful...

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.
