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 Premier Cru "Côte de Lechet" 2018.

The Chablis Premier Cru Côte de Léchet 2018 from Domaine William Fèvre comes from an exceptional terroir. Located on steep, stony slopes overlooking the Serein River, the Côte de Léchet climate benefits from Kimmeridgian soil rich in marine fossils and minerals. This geological feature gives the wines an intense freshness and a unique mineral character, which are emblematic characteristics of Chablis Premier Cru wines.

Soil: Marls and marly limestone, rich in oyster fossils, with a steep, stony and very sunny exposure.

The year 2018 was marked by favorable weather: a contrasting winter, an early spring, and a hot, sunny summer. The grapes, harvested in early September, were perfectly ripe and in excellent condition. The golden, generous berries produced a balanced wine, combining richness and freshness.

Harvested by gravity to preserve the integrity of the grapes, gently pressed and naturally fermented, vinified in stainless steel vats and French oak barrels (20 to 30% of the cuvée), aged for 15 to 16 months, including 6 months on fine lees

The Chablis Premier Cru Côte de Léchet 2018 stands out for its power and assertive minerality. The palate, both taut and airy, reveals elegant aromas of candied fruit and a long, persistent finish.

This Burgundy white wine is the ideal accompaniment to seafood, noble fish, delicate white meats, and mature goat's cheeses.

The care we take when receiving wines in our cellars enables us to detect bottles with imperfections (dirty or faded labels, damaged capsules, etc.). In such cases, they are systematically set aside and never put online! Our preparation team selects only bottles with perfect presentation for your orders!

It is these bottles with slight external defects that we present to you in the "Existe en imparfaite" selection. These bottles are, of course, of "irreproachable" gustatory quality, but suffer from slight defects on the label or cap. We therefore offer them at a preferential price, making the pleasure of tasting them even more affordable.
