RATINGS

94The Wine Advocate

...aromas of pear, peach, oyster shell and vine flowers. Full-bodied, pure and satiny, with a sweet and fleshy core of fruit girdled by tangy acids, it concludes with a long, orange blossom-inflected finish.

93-95Burghound.com

Cool and strikingly elegant aromas include those of quinine, white peach, spice and an abundance of classic Chablis notes. The dense yet wonderfully refined medium-weight flavors brim with dry extract on the gorgeously long, balanced and highly complex finale.

93Decanter Magazine (points)

Quite a delicate, elegant grand cru...there is good volume on the palate, with lingering notes of subtle spices and bright acidity to keep the palate fresh... Precise and long on the aftertaste with some precise mineral notes and a saline finish.

92-94Vinous / IWC

...clean and precise bouquet with citrus lemon, a hint of petrichor and orange blossom - very engaging...palate is very well balanced with a fine bead of acidity...with lemon rind and a touch of mandarin, taut and linear on the 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.
