terroir

The largest owner of village-level vines in the Chablis region – is one characterised by terroir. In easy vintages, grapes ripen well across both the warmest and most exposed Grand Cru, and the coolest and shadiest vineyard areas alike.

Is smaller always more beautiful?

It is true that, when it comes to Burgundy’s winemakers, scale doesn’t often correlate with quality. More vineyards means that the obsessional attention to detail needed to produce great wines is more thinly spread. Yet there are exceptions.

William Fevre is both one of Chablis’ largest owners of vineyard land and one of its finest producers. Its Premier and Grand Cru wines consistently rank amongst the best in the region. Fevre’s entry level wines offer some of the best combinations of quality and value available from Chablis.

Fevre owns multiple parcels of old vines, which translate into sinuous, textured, gastronomic wines, which can age effortlessly. They are always true to their terroir, with concentration, minerality and acidity that vary across vineyard to vineyard.
