Owned by Maisons et Domaines Henriot since 1998, Domaine William Fèvre is one of the most prestigious wine producers in Chablis. It owns approximately 78 hectares of prestigious vineyards, of which 15.9 hectares are classified as premier cru and 15.2 hectares as grand cru. As the only premier cru on the grand cru hill, Vaulorent is treated by Fèvre as an honorary grand cru, and the quality is certainly of that level.

The 2020 Chablis Vaulorent 1er Cru has a reductive bouquet, opening with aeration. It's minerally with chalk dust and flint. This feels a little suppressed by the SO2 at the moment, but wow, it just soars when I return to the glass after ten minutes. The palate is well-balanced with good concentration, unapologetically backward. It's tangy towards the finish with a seam of orange rind and marmalade. The 2020 needs a tad more persistence on the finish, but that will come with time. Tasted blind at the annual Burgfest tasting. Neal Martin9th July 2024

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.
