Situated in the heart of Pauillac, Château Latour is synonymous with authority, longevity and uncompromising quality. Since withdrawing from the traditional en primeur system, Latour now releases wines only when deemed ready by the château — reinforcing its reputation for excellence and patience.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"682\" data-end=\"1085\"\u003eThe 2017 vintage in Pauillac was shaped by a challenging growing season, including severe spring frosts in parts of Bordeaux. Latour’s vineyards, however, were largely spared due to their proximity to the Gironde estuary and meticulous vineyard management. The result is a wine that prioritises precision, freshness and structure over sheer power — a hallmark of great Latour in cooler, classical years.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1087\" data-end=\"1342\"\u003eThe bouquet is deep and restrained, revealing aromas of blackcurrant, cassis, graphite and crushed stone.

Dense dark fruit is framed by firm, finely grained tannins that give the wine its architectural structure. Flavours of blackberry, pencil shavings, cocoa and savoury earth unfold with remarkable clarity. A vibrant core of acidity provides lift and energy, carrying the wine through a long, controlled and mineral-driven finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1761\" data-end=\"2040\"\u003eWhile more approachable in youth than some monumental Latour vintages, the 2017 possesses the depth, balance and tannin framework required for extended ageing.

The domaine holdings cover a wide range of vineyards, including numerous grand and premier cru Chablis sites.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Fèvre family has been in Chablis for 250 years, but the domaine itself wasn't established by William Fèvre until 1959. William Fèvre himself sold the eponymous business in 1998 to Maisons et Domaines Henriot. The domaine was acquired in 2022 (via a merger with Henriot) 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 including Les Clos, Vaudésir, Bougros and Preuses. This variety of plots gives a complete and full profile of wines – for example, those from Bougros are typically full-bodied and rounded, while those from Vaudésir are more lively, fresh and floral.\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. Harvesting is all done by hand, with rigorous sorting for the premier and grand cru parcels. Fèvre has used Diam agglomerated cork closures since 2005 to counter the issue of premature oxidation which has long been a problem in Burgundy's white wines.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVintage: 2022\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGrape Variety: Chardonnay\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRegion: Chablis Grand Cru Bougros \/ Chablis Grand Cru \/ Chablisien \/ Burgundy \/ France\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClassification: Grand Cru\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFermentation: 50-60% fermented in french oak barrels and the rest in stainless steel vats\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaturation: 14 or 15 months of maturation, of which 5 to 6 months on fine lees in french oak barrels\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVineyard \/ Geo info: Altitudes 130 to 170 m on fairly deep marl and clay terrain with a southwest exposure\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAlcohol: 13%\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSweetness: Dry\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOwnership: Henriot family\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClosure: Cork\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDrinking Window: 2025-2040\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Vic Liquors Pty Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52736083558763,"sku":"SK30430431","price":213.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0956\/5483\/8635\/files\/DomaineWilliamFevreChablisGrandCruBougros750ml.png?v=1780389801"},{"product_id":"2022-domaine-jean-marc-bouley-volnay-750ml","title":"2022 Domaine Jean-Marc et Thomas Bouley Volnay 750ml","description":"\u003ch4\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eAbout This Wine\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis Red Wine is characterized as savoury and classic.

On pense à la peau d’une nectarine, à une pointe de pamplemousse, à quelques baies rouges écrasées. La texture est soyeuse, presque aérienne, portée par une acidité fine qui prolonge la finale. Un rosé sec, droit, mais d’une sensualité discrète. Servir à 10 °C.

The domaine was founded in 1968 by Jacques Seysses, who purchased a small property in Morey-Saint-Denis and planted Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. Over time the estate has expanded with additional grand cru and premier cru holdings and now also runs a négoce firm, Dujac Fils \u0026amp; Père.
