The 2011 Les Preuses from William Fèvre is a beautifully composed and finely textured Chablis, showcasing the vintage’s generosity while maintaining the site’s hallmark finesse. Aromas of lemon zest, white peach, green apple, and acacia blossom rise with elegance, framed by subtle notes of crushed shell, chalk, and delicate spice. On the palate, the wine is supple yet vibrant, offering a harmonious interplay of ripe orchard fruit and lively acidity supported by a distinctly saline, mineral backbone. Layers of citrus, pear skin, and wet stone build with precision, leading into a long, graceful finish marked by clarity and quiet depth. Now in a lovely phase of early maturity, the 2011 Les Preuses reflects both the nuance of this Grand Cru and Fèvre’s meticulous, terroir-driven style.

William Fèvre is one of Chablis’s benchmark producers, renowned for its long-standing commitment to purity, precision, and an uncompromising expression of the region’s limestone-rich terroirs. Farming one of the largest and most prestigious collections of Grand Cru vineyards in Chablis, the domaine follows sustainable and largely organic practices that emphasize low yields, meticulous hand-harvesting, and gentle handling of the fruit. In the cellar, vinification is guided by restraint—predominantly stainless steel with a subtle, judicious use of older oak to add texture without masking minerality. Les Preuses, among the most elegant and refined of Chablis’s Grand Crus, is prized for its steep slopes, cool breezes, and Kimmeridgian marl soils that yield wines of crystalline clarity, floral lift, and layered mineral depth. Under Fèvre’s careful hand, this terroir consistently produces some of the most graceful and age-worthy Chablis.
