RATINGS

93-95The Wine Advocate

...seriously intense... saturates the palate with endless layers of aromas & flavors in a style that is all about persistence & length... striking for its purity & delineation. This is a very strong showing...

93-96Burghound.com

...ripe aromas of sea breeze, pear, lemon rind, oyster shell... overtly powerful and impressively concentrated as there is plenty of palate staining dry extract... gorgeously precise... explosively long... exquisite balance... A knock out.

17.5+ Jancis Robinson

A standout of the William Fèvres – has a broader, richer complexity without sacrificing definition. Well-handled oak with some toasty aspects. Excellent.

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.
