E. Guigal Hermitage Blanc 2021
Hermitage
May 19, 2026 - E. Guigal Hermitage Blanc is a rare gem from one of France’s most renowned appellations. While white Rhône wines are scarce, Guigal’s focus on this style makes them a standout, with whites making up 25% of their production. This wine blends explosive floral and fruit aromas with intense minerality and a silky concentration of flavors. Made primarily from Marsanne, with a hint of Roussanne, it finishes remarkably fresh, capturing the warmth and complexity of the Northern Rhône. This is a true discovery for those seeking elegance and depth.
Wine Advocate - November 20, 2025 "Due to the challenges of the vintage, the 2021 Hermitage Blanc is a blend of the estate’s Hermitage Tradition bottling and Ex Voto, which gives it a singular profile. Less…

William Fèvre Chablis Grand Cru Vaudésir – Domaine 2023
Chablis Grand Cru
May 19, 2026 - Domaine William Fèvre farms two south-facing parcels on the north hillside of Vaudésir, totaling 1.20 hectares in the heart of the Côte des Grands Crus. The steeper slopes are richer in clay than limestone, producing a wine of elegance and finesse. Vaudésir’s blend of softness and liveliness makes it especially charming when young. Sourced from two parcels, with the larger in the “amphitheater” known for the finest Vaudésir, this wine is a textbook example—mineral-driven with spiced pear, floral notes, and a touch of wood, leading to a long, detailed finish.
Wine Spectator - August 25, 2025 "Apple, green plum and briny seashore notes are allied with a rich texture in this supple white. There’s a nice underlying chalkiness. Shows fine balance and length. Drink now through…

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.

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…
Wine Advocate - January 29, 2026 "Sourced from 60- to 70-year-old vines rooted in deep soils and invariably among the richer, more muscular wines in the range, the 2023 Chablis Grand Cru Bougros delivers aromas of…

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…
