About the Wine
The Fevre name goes back to 1745 in Chablis. The domaine is currently run by oenologists Gilles and Nathalie Fevre; Gilles takes care of the vineyard, while Nathalie looks after the winery, with everything done by hand. They are now joined at the domaine by their daughter Julie, an engineer and oenologist
The vineyard from which the fruit is harvested, Fourchaume, was planted between 1942 and 1989. It sits on Kimmeridgien soil, found throughout Chablis, and which makes the region special and adds a particular minerality to the wines.
This is a rich and minerally wine with superb fruit and acidity, and flinty and smoky notes. An excellent accompaniment to a wide range of foods. Either drink now or hold for a few years.

Critic Reviews
"Smoky, reductive notes add appeal on the nose. This Fourchaume has a good balance between approachability of ripe, sunny, fruits and driving acidity, allied to a flinty finish. A very elegant wine with crisp acidity, lots of freshness and a lingering aftertaste." - Andy Howard MW (Decanter Magazine)
"Aniseed with steel and stone on the nose, as well as lemons and green apples. Full-bodied and really intense in the center palate with exotic flavors, such as mango. White pepper, too. Lively finish. Drink or hold." - James Suckling

I am trying to add more of a wine to my cart but it won’t let me? This means we are running low on stock of that wine.
