Reviews 96 points Wine Advocate "The 2020 Chablis Grand Cru Les Clos is another brilliant effort from Fevre's immensely able winemaker, Didier Seguier, and his team. Unwinding in the glass with aromas of confit citrus, fresh bread, oyster shell, orange zest and crisp orchard fruit, it's full-bodied, satiny and muscular, with a concentrated, tensile profile and a long, intensely saline finish. It's the broadest and most powerful wine in the range, while remaining quintessentially Chablisien. (WK)" 96 points Burghound "A cool, restrained and airy nose grudgingly divulges its combination of lemon rind, green apple, quinine and acacia blossom scents that are also trimmed in discreet wood. There is again excellent volume and concentration to the powerful and muscular flavors that also coat the palate with dry extract on the impressively complex and hugely long finish. This is classic Les Clos in that it manages to be at once big and overtly powerful while remaining refined and classy. This is, in a word, stunning. (AM)"

About Domaine William Fevre
Embedded in the heart of Chablis, Domaine William Fèvre was established in 1959 with an unwavering commitment to producing authentic, refined wines uniquely expressing the Chardonnay varietal. This commitment has positioned the estate as a standout name in Chablis. Acquired by the Henriot family in 1998, the domaine holds an impressive spread of Premier and Grand Cru vineyards, totaling 39.29 acres and 37.56 acres, respectively – the largest array in Chablis.
Guided by the expert hand of Didier Séguier since 1998, the winemaking process places paramount importance on minimal intervention, organic farming practices, and showcasing the distinct Kimmeridgian minerality of Chablis terroir. As a result, the estate has farmed organically since 2000, with 50% of its vineyards following biodynamic practices since 2010. This unwavering commitment to sustainability has led to the prestigious "High Environmental Value" (HVE) status in 2015, reflecting the highest level of environmental certification in France.
Their Premier Cru wines, which include Beauroy, Montmains, Vaillons, and Fourchaume, are mostly fermented in old French oak and finished in stainless steel, showcasing distinct terroir expressions. For instance, Montmains is well-known for its mineral aromas and powerful expression of the terroir, while Fourchaume offers a floral nuance, making it an ideal partner for shellfish.
The pinnacle of their offerings is found in the Grand Cru vineyards, including Bougros, Valmur, and Les Clos. These wines undergo a similar production process as the Premier Cru wines but showcase a greater complexity and longevity. Notably, Les Clos originates from Chablis' most esteemed and ancient vineyard, renowned for producing wines capable of extended aging.
Domaine William Fèvre's wines have gained global acclaim for their elegance, purity, and precision, embodying the perfect expression of the Chablis' distinctive power, minerality, and finesse. It's not just wine; it's a harmonious blend of respect for nature, expertise, and the irreplicable expression of the Chablis terroir.
