Chablis Fourchaume William Févre 2023 is a Premier Cru Chardonnay from the renowned Fourchaume vineyard in the Chablis region. This single-vineyard wine benefits from the vineyard`s Kimmeridgian limestone soils, imparting a distinctive minerality. Established in 1959, William Févre is known for its commitment to traditional vinification methods and respect for terroir. The 2023 vintage showcases aromas of green apple, flint and subtle citrus notes. On the palate, it reveals a balanced structure and persistent minerality, characteristic of Fourchaume. This wine is suited for ageing, with optimal drinking between 2028 and 2040.

The 2023 Chablis 1er Cru Fourchaume, sourced from a 3.6-hectare, clay-rich, south-facing parcel at the bottom of the slope in Vaulorent, opens with aromas of orange peel, white flowers and oyster shell. Medium- to full-bodied, the palate is fleshy yet lively, underpinned by bright acidity and concludes with a long, saline finish. This cuvée is not produced every year. - Kristaps Karklins

Cask/tank sample. Floral note and quite broad in the beam. Masses of fruit! Almost opulent. (JR)

Domaine William Fevre

Chablis with exceptional terroir focus

Domaine William Fèvre, located in the prestigious Chablis region of Burgundy, has a legacy spanning over 250 years. Established in 1959, William Fèvre is one of the biggest landowners in Chablis, with just under 80 hectares of vineyards. Of these, 15.9 hectares are classified as Premier Cru, and 15.2 hectares as Grand Cru. The domaine boasts holdings in six out of the seven Grand Crus, with Les Clos as the flagship, producing profound white wine Chardonnay with great structure, mineral depth, and ageability.

The Fèvre family, led by the eponymous William Fèvre, established a reputation for fine wine production. The estate was sold to the Champagne house Joseph Henriot in 1998, but the legacy of the Fèvre family continues under the guidance of former Bouchard cellar master Didier Séguier. Under his management, William Fèvre has become a benchmark for terroir-focused Chablis, continuing the tradition started by William Fèvre's father.

Since 2000, the domaine has expanded its vineyard holdings while intensifying its commitment to sustainable farming practices. The estate has also embraced organic cultivation methods, with the entire 78 hectares estate becoming organic-certified in 2023. Careful oak management is central to William Fèvre’s terroir-driven style: Premier Cru wines are vinified in 40-50% French oak barrels; Grand Crus in 70-80%, without new wood.
