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 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…
Wine Spectator - September 29, 2025 "Lemon, quince, celery and flint are the hallmarks of this linear, elegant white. Sleek, with intensity to the flavors as they carry through to the lemon- and stone-infused aftertaste. Best…
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…

Wine Spectator - September 29, 2025 "This is generous, displaying peach, apple, lemon verbena and grapefruit flavors. Corralled by vivid acidity that emerges midpalate and defines the stone fruit and mineral finish. Approachable now for its…
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 Enthusiast - February 26, 2025
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…
William Fèvre Chablis Grand Cru Les Preuses – Domaine 2023
Chablis Grand Cru
May 19, 2026 - Domaine William Fèvre Les Preuses offers excellent aging potential, thanks to dense clay soils over limestone. The clay retains moisture, while the limestone enhances drainage and temperature regulation, promoting complex, concentrated flavors. A light touch in the cellar and careful use of old French oak allow the vineyard’s character to shine through, resulting in a round, elegant, and mineral wine. This comes from two sections of vines: one near Vincent Dauvissat’s plot on the southern-facing part of Les Preuses, and the other on deeper soils, totaling 2.5 hectares.
Wine Advocate - January 29, 2026 "Sourced from an east-facing slope that yields one of the racier and more ethereal wines in the range, the 2023 Chablis Grand Cru Les Preuses opens with aromas of oyster…
Wine Enthusiast - February 26, 2025
Wine Spectator - December 31, 2025 "This is rich and interwoven with peach, yellow plum, earth, stone and oyster shell aromas and flavors. Tangy and mouthwatering, with terrific harmony and a long, citrus- and mineral-tinged aftertaste.…
