Since its foundation in 1959, Domaine William Fèvre has become one of the biggest landowners in the region with 78 hectares of prestigious vineyards and is often cited as a benchmark for quality and terroir expression. Vinification is very traditional with fermentation and maturation on fine lees undertaken in a combination of stainless and seasoned oak (ave. 6 years old).

Mont de Milieu is a Premier Cru vineyard with double exposure and therefore benefits from a higher average temperature and more sunshine, resulting in wines with great fruit intensity and body. From the superb 2018 vintage this is full-bodied and fleshy, with a rich core of citrus and orchard fruits, but is tempered by a fine thread of acidity and delicate chalky texture.

The 2018 Chablis Monts des Milieu 1er Cru has a well-defined bouquet with yellow fruit and crushed stone emerging with time. The palate is balanced with fine acidity, taut and fresh with appreciable salinity towards the finish. This is turning into a fine Chablis, though not one that I would cellar long-term.

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.
