Domaine William Fèvre
The name William Fèvre has become synonymous with Chablis and today is arguably one of its greatest domaines. From humble beginnings in 1957 with a mere 7 hectares, William Fèvre soon procured some of the best premiers and grands crus in Chablis. Following Fèvre’s retirement in 1998, the domaine was purchased by the Champagne house, Joseph Henriot, but retained its original name. The talented Didier Séguier is the cellar master, an alumnus of the well-known Beaune domaine, Bouchard Père et Fils. All of Fèvre’s vineyards are harvested by hand which is quite a task given that this includes 12 hectares of premiers crus and no less than 16 hectares of grands crus.
Description
Very fresh bouquet with notes of citrus and white fleshed fruit. Fresh and supple, the wine is marked by mineral notes that are typical of the appellation.
Food Pairing
Pairs well with fish dishes, grilled or in a light sauce; various seafood, oysters and sushi.
