The 2021 Fourchaume from William Fèvre is a beautifully vibrant and finely etched wine, reflecting the cool, classical profile of the vintage with impressive clarity. Aromas of lemon zest, green apple, white peach, and acacia blossom rise with precision, layered alongside notes of crushed oyster shell and chalky minerality. On the palate, the wine is taut and energetic, driven by bright acidity and a firm saline backbone that underscores its limestone origins. Flavors of citrus, pear skin, and subtle spice unfold with finesse, leading into a long, clean, and elegant finish marked by tension and purity. The 2021 Fourchaume showcases both the freshness of the vintage and Fèvre’s hallmark precision—an incisive, expressive Premier Cru with excellent aging potential.
Fevre, William Description
William Fèvre is one of Chablis’s benchmark domaines, admired for its commitment to purity, precision, and a faithful expression of the region’s limestone-rich terroirs. With extensive holdings across Chablis’s greatest vineyards, the estate farms sustainably and largely organically, emphasizing low yields, meticulous hand-harvesting, and gentle fruit handling. In the cellar, vinification leans toward restraint—predominantly stainless steel, complemented by limited use of neutral oak—to preserve tension, minerality, and aromatic clarity. Fourchaume, one of the most celebrated Premier Crus on the Right Bank, is known for its southern exposure, Kimmeridgian soils, and ability to produce wines that balance richness with taut, linear minerality. Under Fèvre’s precise and terroir-driven approach, Fourchaume becomes an expression of depth, lift, and classical Chablisienne finesse.
