The 2023 Fourchaume opens with lime zest, apple blossom, chalky stone, and a hint of sea spray. It is medium-bodied and vibrant, with a backbone of fresh acidity, saline lift, and refined texture that supports both richness and lift. The finish is crisp and focused, promising depth and precision over the years.
Fevre, William Description
Domaine William Fèvre is one of Chablis’s most venerated names, holding premier cru, grand cru, and village holdings across many of the region’s distinguished terroirs. The domaine moves toward organic and biodynamic practices, focusing on low intervention, native yeasts, and gentle handling to preserve the expression of each site. In the cellar they favor subtle extraction, modest oak influence (often older or neutral wood), and elevage regimes tailored to each vineyard parcel. Fèvre’s wines emphasize salinity, tension, and site clarity, often showing crystalline minerality with orchard fruit in youth and developing richer layers with age. Their consistency across vintages has made them a reference point for both everyday and collector-level Chablis. The Fourchaume and Beauroy crus are among their better-exposed appraisals, giving balance between freshness and power.
