Tasting notes
Reviewed by: James Suckling
This has plenty of ripe rich fruit with an array of lime curd, peaches, apricots and mangoes. The palate is packed with flesh and very succulent smooth and creamy peaches and apricots. A lot to like here. Drink on release.

The 2017 Chablis has a tightly-wound, flinty bouquet with just a faint hint of pressed white flowers. The palate is well balanced with a slither of bitter lemon on the entry, modest weight with a strict and linear, saline finish. Very classic in style, this Chablis should be broached over the next six or seven years.
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.
