Chablis Vaulorent William Fèvre 2013 is a Premier Cru Chardonnay from the celebrated Burgundy estate William Fèvre. This 1.5-litre bottling highlights the unique Vaulorent vineyard, an enclave on the same limestone-rich hillside as the Grand Crus that provides more power than typical Premier Crus. Despite a difficult growing season with a damp spring, the 2013 vintage achieved great aromatic complexity with a nose of pear, citrus peel and tidal pool scents. Winemaker Didier Séguier fermented and matured 50% of the wine in old oak barrels to create a sleekly muscular palate with underlying tension and a dry finish.
Vinous
The 2013 Chablis Vaulorent fleshes out in all directions with magnificent depth, power and structure. Round and seamless on the palate, with terrific depth, the 2013 impresses for its balance and sheer concentration. Almond paste, dried pear and savory herbs flesh out on the supple, resonant finish.Antonio Galloni1st August 2014

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.
