    Product description

    The Fèvre family have been prominent in Chablis for over 250 years. In 1998 Joseph Henriot picked up the torch and installed an inspired winemaker, in the form of Didier Seguier. Since then, the wines from Domaine William Fèvre have become the benchmark for classic Chablis.

    Les Preuses lies at the northern end of the Grand Cru slope, where Kimmeridgian soils and a sunny aspect make for an excellent terroir. Great purity of citrus fruits aromas with ginger and nutmeg notes. Elegant on the palate with intense flavours and superb minerality.

    Bright, pale lemon-yellow color. Knockout nose melds pineapple, white peach, lemon oil, wild herbs, flowers and cut hay, plus a whiff of menthol. Wonderfully silky, dense and pure, with subtle sweetness cut by brilliant acidity. Utterly electric Chablis: saline, tactile and palate-saturating from start to resounding finish. I'd forget this one in the cellar: it may eventually merit an even higher rating. In 2010 and 2011, this wine challenges Vincent Dauvissat's supernal Preuses.

    About the producer: William Fèvre

Since then, the wines from Domaine William Fèvre have become the benchmark for classic Chablis. View our range.

    Philosophy

    “Style is an empty shell. Wine’s potential lies in its sensual response. For Chablis, this is derived from its terroir, which creates freshness and minerality.” The aim is to reveal the true characteristics of each climat (vineyard). The domain uses 6 years old barrels rather than new oak, in order to preserve freshness and minerality and enable the subtle nuances of Chablis’ terroirs to fully express themselves.

    William Fèvre’s Wine

    The William Fèvre range covers five of the seven Chablis Grand Cru with Bougros, Les Clos, les Preuses, Vaudesir and  Valmur, eight of the seventeenth 1er Cru Village including Fourchaume, Les Vaillons and Montmains and, a  Chablis, Petit Chablis and Sauvignon de Saint Bris.
