William Fèvre Chablis 1er Cru Montée de Tonnerre – Domaine 2023
Chablis 1er Cru
August 13, 2026 - William Fèvre Chablis Premier Cru Montée de Tonnerre is among the most esteemed Premiers Crus, thanks to its proximity and geological kinship to the Grands Crus just west. Fèvre farms three lieux-dits—Pied d’Aloup, Montée de Tonnerre, and Chapelot—high on the slope, with exposures from southwest to southeast. Each site brings something distinct: Pied d’Aloup adds salinity and structure, Montée de Tonnerre lends weight, and old-vine Chapelot (planted in 1936) contributes finesse. The result is full, rich, and mineral, with floral lift and impressive aging potential.

Chablis 1er Cru
August 13, 2026 - William Fèvre Premier Cru Montmains is a benchmark Chablis grown on the region’s famously stony left bank.

Vinified gently and aged partially in oak, Montmains is precise and lifted, with pronounced mineral notes and strong aging potential.

Chablis 1er Cru
August 13, 2026 - William Fèvre Premier Cru Les Lys is a refined expression of the Vaillons climat, drawn from a 0.99-hectare plot once owned by French royalty. Located on an eastern-facing slope with clay soils over Kimmeridgian limestone, this site yields wines of notable elegance and finesse.

It offers a floral, mineral-driven bouquet, supple texture, and a graceful, lingering finish.
