William Fèvre himself sold the eponymous business in 1998 to Maisons et Domaines Henriot. The domaine was acquired in 2022 by luxury group Artémis Domaines. In 2023, it was reported that Artémis was in talks to hand over ownership of Fèvre to Domaines Barons de Rothschild Lafite. The move was formally announced in early 2024.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eToday, Domaine William Fèvre owns around 76 hectares (190 acres) in Chablis, 15 hectares (37 acres) of which are in Grand Cru vineyards. A further 16 hectares (39 acres) of vineyards are classified as premier cru (these include Fourchaume\/Vaulorent, Vaillons, Montmains, Montée de Tonnerre and Les Lys).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHistorically, the wines were all aged in new oak, although more recently William Fèvre has changed to the use of barrels that are, on average, five years old, allowing for the quintessential Chablis freshness and minerality to shine through.

The vineyard covers just over 16 hectares (40 acres) of steep land above the Grenouilles Grand Cru site on the hill, just east of Preuses. The vineyard is shaped like an amphitheatre, and is cut through by a track known as the \"Chemin des Vaudésirs\", giving it a double orientation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHalf of its vines face due south, with the remainder facing southwest. This topography helps to distinguish Vaudésir from other vineyard sites, as the steep slopes provide some protection from northerly winds and vines instead benefit from good exposure to sunlight. Indeed, much like its southerly neighbour Valmur, the valley can become something of a heat trap in summer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAnother crucial factor in the Vaudésir terroir is the soils, which tend to be lighter than in the other Grand Cru climats. Although they are still based on the same Kimmeridgian subsoil that sits beneath the rest of the Grand Cru hill, soils in Vaudesir tend toward clay rather than limestone. The lower proportions of limestone here have led to a wine with a more refined minerality alongside good fruit richness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eAbout the Winery\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDomaine William Fèvre is one of the more prestigious of the Chablis houses and, despite its relative youth, is reputed to produce some of the finest expressions of Chardonnay from the north of Burgundy.

It probably shouldn’t be this exciting, but it is. The wine that is, not the train so much.  Depending on the background, the colour seems generous. Even with a white stone bench top behind it, it has a lovely golden shimmer. It smells perfect. At least to me it does. Wet stones, struck match, ginger, lime, stone fruit and white florals. The palate at this temperature is a riot. Intense and powerful, it’s electric and relentless, the fruit expression more than a match for it. This is the very definition of how tension makes wine so exciting. It’s balanced, and at full stretch, it delivers a perfect result. Could you soften it with a decant? Sure, but then you’d miss the thrill. It’s hard to describe exactly why it’s so exciting, if you write it down, as I’ve done, it’s just words on a screen.
