William Fèvre
The Domaine William Fèvre is one of the most respected and iconic names in the Chablis region, in Bourgogne.
Founded in the heart of the Chablis vineyard in the 19th century, this family-run Domaine is synonymous with excellence, authenticity and terroir.
The history of Domaine William Fèvre dates back to 1957 when William Fèvre, a visionary with a passion for wine, purchased and revitalized the family Domaine. His relentless quest for quality and his love for the terroir of Chablis led him to acquire precious parcels of vines in the appellation's best climats. Today, Domaine owns nearly 78 hectares of vines, the majority of which are located in the prestigious premier and grand crus of Chablis.
What sets Domaine William Fevre apart is its deep commitment to the unique terroir of Chablis. The Chablis region is renowned for its Kimmeridgian soil, made up of limestone and marl rich in marine fossils. This terroir gives Chablis wines their distinctive character, marked by elegant minerality and aromatic purity. The vines are planted exclusively with the Chardonnay grape, which flourishes in this particular terroir to produce white wines of crystalline purity.

Description William Fèvre Chablis Grand Cru "Valmur" 2018.
Domaine emblematic of the Chablis appellation, William Fèvre is renowned for its Premiers and Grands Crus Chardonnay. The "Valmur" cuvée is produced in the lieu-dit of the same name, a climate distinguished by shallow clay-limestone soils. The total surface area of the Grand Cru Valmur appellation is around 11 hectares, the parcel cultivated by William Fevre barely one hectare.
This wine presents itself in a brilliant deep golden yellow color. The powerful yet seductive nose delivers ripe aromas of white stone fruit and pear, citrus essences and beeswax. Mineral and iodized touches reminiscent of oyster shells and white floral notes also make their appearance.
On the palate, the attack is frank and powerful. The acid balance is magnificently precise, between fatness and freshness. Mineral and lively, the texture is nonetheless dense and silky. Flavors of white stone fruit mingle with vegetal notes and citrus zest. The finish is long, mineral and stony, underlining the characteristic expression of this exceptional terroir. A wine with excellent evolutionary potential (for the more patient, put a few bottles in the cellar to discover the evolution towards honeyed and almond notes).
It will make a fine pairing at the table with lobster and grilled langoustines, as well as poultry in sauce. It will also provide a fine counterpoint to the iodine of oysters.
