Description
Tasting notes
Reviewed by: Neal Martin
The 2020 Chablis Mont de Milieu 1er Cru comes from a 0.5-hectare plot of 60-year-old vines. It is clean and precise on the nose, and quite leesy, with flecks of orange pith and orchard fruit and just a touch of reduction. The spicy palate is concentrated due to the low yields (26hl/ha), and shows better substance than the Fourchaume on the finish. Excellent.

Bursting with aromas of dried white flowers, crisp yellow orchard fruit and freshly baked bread, the 2020 Chablis 1er Cru Mont de Milieu is medium to full-bodied, fleshy and textural, with bright acids and a rich core of fruit that reflects its origins in a sunny, well-exposed site. This is one of the more demonstrative premiers crus in the range.

About the Producer
Domaine William Fèvre is arguably one of Chablis’ greatest domaines. Following Fèvre’s retirement in 1998, the estate was sold to the Henriot family. Since then, head winemaker Didier Séguier, has steered what was then an oaky style of Chablis, to one that was much more terroir driven. The resulting wines are showing amazing purity and concentration, expressing the unique personality and minerality of each vineyard. Domaine William Fèvre owns the largest array of Premier and Grands Crus vineyards in Chablis. The estate has been farmed organically since 2006 with selected parcels farmed biodynamically.
