Domaine William Fèvre Chablis Montée de Tonnerre 2014 is a medium-bodied dry white wine from the Premier Cru climat of Montée de Tonnerre in the Chablis appellation of Burgundy. Established in 1959, William Fèvre has emerged as a significant landowner in Chablis, boasting holdings in six out of the seven Grand Cru appellations. Committed to limiting yields, the estate has embraced organic cultivation methods since 2000. This particular release comes from the Premier Cru Montée de Tonnerre, where the estate owns a 2.2-hectare plot. "Pale green colour. Crushed-stone minerality dominates lemon and lime leaf on the nose. Very dry, lemony, saline wine with terrific energy but much more closed today than the Lys and showing less early personality. The penetrating lemon, ginger and crushed stone flavours carry through on a long, bracing yet subtle aftertaste, with a note of underripe pineapple emerging late. The most austere 2014 to this point, and in need of extended cellaring." Vinous, 2016

Pale green color. Crushed-stone minerality dominates lemon and lime leaf on the nose. Very dry, lemony, saline wine with terrific energy but much more closed today than the Lys and showing less early personality. The penetrating lemon, ginger and crushed stone flavors carry through on a long, bracing yet subtle aftertaste, with a note of underripe pineapple emerging late. The most austere 2014 to this point, and in need of extended cellaring. Séguier says that this wine has acidity around 4.5 grams per liter, with a low pH between 3.1 and 3.15.Stephen Tanzer1st July 2016

Tasted blind at the Burgfest annual tasting, Fevre's 2014 Chablis 1er Cru Montée de Tonnerre has a broody and backward nose, atypically for this vintage. Maybe just too austere? The palate is well balanced with quite piercing acidity, good weight in the mouth but just missing the persistence of the Montée de Tonnerre from Jean Collet on the finish. Perhaps this is just enduring a dumb phase?Neal Martin31st October 2017

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.
