Description

William Fèvre has long been a benchmark for Chablis, and their village wine is a reminder that you don’t need to reach for a Premier or Grand Cru to get a pure hit of classic terroir. Sourced from 46 hectares of estate vines, much of it old vine material sitting on textbook Kimmeridgian limestone, this is Chablis through and through - precise, mineral, and refreshingly no-nonsense.

The 2022 vintage saw good ripeness across Burgundy, but Fèvre’s style remains firmly about balance and tension. Hand-picked fruit, minimal oak (none here), and plenty of time on lees keep the wine clean and focused, with that saline edge that makes Chablis such a go-to for seafood or simply drinking on its own.

What stands out is how much precision and detail is packed into this entry-level bottling. It’s approachable now but will hold up nicely for a few years if you’re the patient type. Proof, once again, that Fèvre knows exactly how to let great sites speak for themselves.

89–91 points - "There is slightly better Chablis typicity present on the aromas of mineral reduction, iodine and cool white-fleshed fruit. There is also slightly better volume and richness to the delicious medium-weight flavors that possess a lovely sense of underlying tension, all wrapped in a refreshing, clean, dry and sleek finale. This is very good for its level plus it should reward a few years of keeping if desired. Drink: 2026+" - Allen Meadows (Burghound)
