William Fèvre Chablis 1er Cru Les Lys – Domaine 2023
Chablis 1er Cru
May 19, 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. Gentle handling in the cellar via gravity flow, light pressing, and fermentation on fine lees preserves purity and detail. The wine ages 13 to 14 months, with partial élevage in older French oak. It offers a floral, mineral-driven bouquet, supple texture, and a graceful, lingering finish.
Wine Advocate - January 29, 2026 "Sourced from a north-facing site beneath forest cover with clay-rich soils, a parcel selection in Vaillons, the 2023 Chablis 1er Cru Les Lys is among the most quintessentially Chablisien wines…

William Fèvre Chablis Grand Cru Bougros Domaine 2023
Chablis Grand Cru
May 19, 2026 - William Fèvre Chablis Grand Cru Bougros Côte Bouguerots comes from the renowned Bougros vineyard on Chablis’ western slopes, a site known for its power and elegance. The soils, rich in Kimmeridgian limestone and clay, lend the wine remarkable structure and minerality. Sourced from the steepest part of Bougros, where the cooling influence of the Serein River is most felt, this wine offers a style that contrasts with the typical round, opulent character of the cru. The vines sit at the entrance to Bougros, one of the vineyard’s most prized sections.
Wine Enthusiast - December 16, 2025 "Reserved aromas of well-integrated fruit lean into dried white blossom, sun-kissed apple and dried mushroom and hay on the nose. Chablis's characteristic acid tension pervades and dances gleefully across the…

William Fèvre Chablis Grand Cru Bougros Côte Bouguerots – Domaine 2023
Chablis Grand Cru
May 19, 2026 - Domaine William Fèvre Bougros is a powerful Grand Cru from the steepest slope in Chablis, with a gradient nearing 45 degrees. The domaine tends to 49% of the cru, including 2.11 hectares in the lieu-dit Côtes Bouguerots. The vineyard, planted mostly in the 1950s and '60s, sits on shallow soils that naturally restrict yields, creating a more complex wine. The wine undergoes an extended 14- to 15-month elevage, with about half of it spending time on the lees in old French oak barrels (averaging 6 years old), adding structure and depth to this exceptional wine.
Wine Advocate - January 29, 2026 "Sourced from a site closer to the river, defined by a steep 40% gradient and cooler nights, the 2023 Chablis Grand Cru Bougros Côte Bouguerots is entirely different from the…

William Fèvre Chablis 1er Cru Montée de Tonnerre – Domaine 2023
Chablis 1er Cru
May 19, 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.

William Fèvre Chablis Grand Cru Valmur – Domaine 2023
Chablis Grand Cru
May 19, 2026 - Domaine William Fèvre Valmur is a Chablis Grand Cru from a parcel on the western hillside, resembling a small valley flanked by two hillsides. The deep clay and limestone soils, combined with a south/southeast exposure, create a wine with ripe fruit, powerful flavors, and Chablisien minerality. Sourced from recently replanted vines and aged in 50% wood with a small portion of new oak, it offers fresh aromas of green fruit, citrus, and oyster shell. The colder climate adds focus, minerality, and tension, with a signature salty minerality, a hallmark of Valmur.

Wine Spectator - December 31, 2025 "A laserlike profile tries to keep the lid on flavors of yellow flowers, quince, apple and bitter grapefruit. A mineral vein emerges on the finish, driven by vibrant acidity. Balanced…
