Best of the Best - 2022 William Fevre Chablis

Domaine William Fevre has been around for over 250 years in Chablis, becoming the largest land owner in the region along the way, with over 70ha of vines, over half of which are Premier and Grand Cru.  That sort of history allowed them to acquire and establish the very best vines in each vineyard, and the impressive reviews you see on these wines each year is a reflection of those prime locations.  Being the "big fish" in the "small pond" of Chablis certainly has it's advantages.

Fevre also uses old barrels instead of new oak as a means to preserve freshness and minerality, allowing each appellation to really shine through and express it's unique qualities.  And don't miss the special Bougros Cote Bouguerots bottling, from a 2.2ha sub-climat owned entirely by Fevre.  It's steeply sloped (30% gradient) dropping toward the banks of the Serein River and must be harvested by hand.

"No other domaine comes even remotely close to matching what Fevre owns and all of it in the original heart of the appellation - it's literally the best of the best, or perhaps the phrase creme de la creme is more appropriate!" - Burghound, Issue 92

2022 Domaine William Fevre Chablis 1er Cru Les Lys
JM 91-93, BH 89-92
"The bouquet is less fine but shows nonetheless a wealth of pure white fruit which is attractive. Lots of marl with a mix of portlandian and kimmeridgian soils, the former adding the body, the latter leaving the lick of salinity. Good length." - Jasper Morris, June 2023

2022 Domaine William Fevre Chablis 1er Cru Vaulorent
JM 92-95, BH 91-94
"More lime than lemon in colour, the nose is so stylish yet with obvious concentration beneath. I love the texture of this wine, which has taken on a little bit of the cashmere qualities of this sector, while nonetheless retaining its mineral core. Very stylish once again." - Jasper Morris, June 2023

2022 Domaine William Fevre Chablis 1er Cru Montee de Tonnerre
JM 93-95 (5 Stars), BH 92-94
"Sweet Spot - An elegant, pure and wonderfully airy nose more freely reflects its aromas of white flowers, prominent mineral reduction and plenty of seashore elements. There is at once more volume but, somewhat surprisingly, even better refinement to the medium weight plus flavors that retain excellent detail while also flashing an almost pungent stoniness on the driving, firm and impeccably well-balanced finale. One to look for as this is very impressive." - Burghound, Issue 92

2022 Domaine William Fevre Chablis Grand Cru Les Preuses
JM 93-95, BH 92-95
"Don't Miss - A toasty nose features notes of smoky grilled shellfish, pear and algae. The dense and equally serious larger-scaled flavors don't have quite the same power yet they are clearly more refined on the markedly bitter citrus zest finish that displays outstanding length. This is exceptionally classy and while it too could use more depth, that is all but assured if given a chance." - Burghound, Issue 92

2022 Domaine William Fevre Chablis Grand Cru Bougros Cote de Bouguerots
JM 93-97 (5 Stars), BH 93-95
"Don't Miss - This is the coolest and most restrained of this group of 2022s with its elegant aromas of prominent mineral reduction, lemon-lime, spice and oyster shell. There is almost painful intensity to the intensely stony and strikingly well-detailed larger-bodied yet still beautifully refined flavors that display huge length on the impeccably well-balanced finale. Like the Preuses, this is very classy and built to repay extended keeping." - Burghound, Issue 92
