FEVRE William Chablis 1er Cru Vaulorent 2022

Chablis 1er Cru Burgundy White

€54,00 / 75cl inc. VAT

In 2022, the Chablis 1er Cru Vaulorent from Domaine William Fèvre finds a brilliant harmony between solar maturity and mineral rigor. The palate vibrates on a straight and nervy framework, distilling fresh citrus zest, fine herbs, and a saline hint of flint. This chisel-sharp purity already foreshadows a superb trajectory in the cellar.

Vinous Tasting Note

The 2022 Chablis Vaulorent 1er Cru has another tightly wound nose like the Montée de Tonnerre, a subtle marine element emerging with time, a touch of wild fennel. The palate has much more body and depth than the aforementioned Premier Cru, with good density, a crisp line of acidity and a welcome touch of spice enhancing the finish. Excellent.

About the Producer

Domaine William Fevre has established itself as an essential benchmark in Chablis, in the heart of Burgundy. Founded in 1959, this estate has actively contributed to the revival of this flagship appellation. Its history is one of gradual expansion, driven by a selection of remarkable plots, including many prestigious Grand Crus. Now part of Maison Bouchard Père & Fils, the estate perpetuates a tradition of excellence, with Didier Seguier overseeing the quality and style of the wines. William Fevre Chablis are particularly appreciated for their pure and precise expression of terroir, their vibrant freshness, and their characteristic minerality. The range extends from Petit Chablis to the most renowned Grand Crus, such as Les Clos, Les Preuses, and Bougros Côte Bouguerots. The Vaillons and Fourchaume Premier Crus also illustrate the estate's singular style. It is said that William Fèvre was among the first to replant Chardonnay after the devastation of phylloxera, thus helping to restore the appellation's prestige. A rigorous approach, with controlled yields and environmentally conscious practices, contributes to the distinctiveness of William Fevre wines.
