Domaine William Fèvre is often considered as a benchmark for quality and terroir expression in the region of Chablis. Using fruit from many of the most prestigious vineyards across the appellation, vinification is very traditional with fermentation and maturation on fine lees undertaken in a combination of stainless and seasoned oak (ave. 6 years old).

The 2016 Vaudésir Grand Cru is bold and powerful, but has wonderful aromatic prettiness and considerable mineral depth. It is chiselled and precise, with excellent mid-palate concentration, incisive acids and a wonderfully long, spice-tinged finish. This would be absolutely superb with almost any seafood or shellfish, particularly oysters.

91 Vinous
(23 hectoliters per hectare): Pale yellow. Very spicy scents of peach, ginger and white pepper; less minerally at present than the Bougros. Then quite taut in the mouth and much less easy to taste today; dry and classic but quite reticent. Boasts excellent inner-mouth tension and harmonious acidity but not the silkiness of the Bougros. Most impressive now on the dense, spicy, tactile, slowly mounting finish. Not at all a heavy style of Vaudésir but it's not coming alive today. Am I underrating this?Stephen Tanzer1st August 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.
