About this Item
With a family history spanning over 250 years in Chablis, it came as an easy choice for William Fèvre to follow winemaking in this historic, Chardonnay-growing region. The domaine was established in 1959 with 7 hectares of vineyards and has grown to 78 hectares (including Grands and Premiers Crus), making it one of the largest domaines in the region. Producing prestigious, classic Chablis, Domaine William Fèvre made its mark as a leader in this region. In 1998, Maisons et Domaines Henriot became the new owner of the domaine, continuing the path William had laid. In the vineyard, harvesting is done by hand and organic methods are followed (although not certified). The domain also transitioned to biodynamic viticulture in 2015, receiving environmental certification for its sustainable practices.

Critics Ratings
William Fevre Fourchaume 1er Cru Chablis 2011
'Rich, layered and impeccable, the 2011 Chablis Fourchame is one of the clear highlights in this range. Light floral-infused honey, almon and peache nuances flesh out in a medium-bodied yet generous Chablis loaded with personality. All the elements fall into place in this open, inviting and totally sensual Fourchame from William Fevre.' - Antonio Galloni, Vinous, 92/100 (Aug 2013)
William Fevre Fourchaume 1er Cru Chablis 2014
'This white reveals richness and breadth, with a hint of spice framing the apple, melon, yellow plum and mineral flavors. The terrific finish keeps pumping out the fruit and stone notes. Drink now through 2020. - Bruce Sanderson, Wine Spectator, 93/100 (Jun 2016).
William Fevre Montmains Chablis 1er Cru 2014
'Lean yet juicy, with lemon and green apple flavors buoyed by the vivid structure. Shows fine balance and length. Drink now through 2019.' - Bruce Sanderson, Wine Spectator, 92/100 (Jun 2016).
William Fevre Vaillons 1er Cru Chablis 2014
'Pale, green-tinged yellow. Smells riper than the Montmains but also displays pungently fresh iodiney minerality. Densely packed and sweet, with youthful grapefruit and pineapple flavors dominated on the back end by the strong iodiney minerality. Very firm but not austere, this superb premier cru saturates the mouth without leaving any impression of excess weight. Built to age.' - Stephen Tanzer, Vinous, 92/100 (Jul 2016)
