RATINGS

93Vinous / IWC

Smoke, ash, crushed rocks and a host of other aromas and flavors wrap around the sensual, saline finish.

93Burghound.com

...dense, powerful and muscular broad-scaled flavors that manage to keep fine detail on the palate staining finish. This is a big wine...

92Stephen Tanzer

Reticent but pure nose hints at citrus peel and minerals, along with a high-pitched floral note. Firm on entry, then dense, citrussy and precise in the middle, showing very good intensity...

91Wine Spectator

An alluring oyster shell, iodine scent draws you in, while apple, melon and grapefruit flavors hold your interest.

17Jancis Robinson

Herby mineral nose and mild but fresh lemon juice.

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.
