With 78 hectares of prestigious vineyards across the appellation, Domaine William Fèvre is one of the biggest landowners in Chablis and is often seen as a benchmark for quality and terroir expression. Vinification remains incredibly traditional with fermentation and maturation on fine lees undertaken in a combination of stainless and seasoned oak (ave. 6 years old).

The Premier Cru Vaulorent vineyard sits directly alongside Les Preuses and is often considered as an extension of the Grand Cru area. Often producing wines of complex aroma, richness and power, this is a particularly food friendly cuvée, pairing well with slightly rich fish or chicken dishes.

94 Jancis Robinson

Drawn from a harvest that began on September 4 and delivered comparatively small yields, the 2017 Chablis 1er Cru Vaulorent is a notable success. It emerges from the glass with notes of pear, oyster shell and wheat toast, framed by a subtle edge of smoky reduction. Medium- to full-bodied, deep and concentrated, it offers an ample core of fruit structured around a bright spine of acidity and a long, saline finish. Racy and precise, it has aged with grace and is beginning to pay dividends for those with patience.Kristaps Karklins29th January 2026

The 2017 Chablis Vaulorent 1er Cru needs to manifest a little more delineation and focus on the nose, where it does not quite deliver the clarity or mineral drive of its peers. The palate is much better, offering fine acidity, flavors of sour lemon mixed with orange pith and a touch of oyster shell, and good concentration on the finish, which leads me to think that the aromatics just need more time in bottle (and indeed, they do open with aeration). I will give this the benefit of the doubt. Tasted blind at the annual Burgfest tasting in Savigny-lès-Beaune. Neal Martin1st August 2021

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.
