About this Item
With a family history spanning over 250 years in Chablis, it came as an easy choice for William Fèvre to follow winemaking in this historic, Chardonnay-growing region. The domaine was established in 1959 with 7 hectares of vineyards and has grown to 78 hectares (including Grands and Premiers Crus), making it one of the largest domaines in the region. Producing prestigious, classic Chablis, Domaine William Fèvre made its mark as a leader in this region. In 1998, Maisons et Domaines Henriot became the new owner of the domaine, continuing the path William had laid. In the vineyard, harvesting is done by hand and organic methods are followed (although not certified). The domain also transitioned to biodynamic viticulture in 2015, receiving environmental certification for its sustainable practices.
Chablis Premier Cru Fourchaume is one of the esteemed Premier Cru vineyards in Chablis, situated on the right bank of the Serein River. The vineyard is known for its Kimmeridgian limestone soils, which impart minerality and complexity to the wines produced from its grapes. Chablis Premier Cru wines are celebrated for their purity, freshness, and aging potential.

Critics Ratings
'(domain cuvee) Pale yellow. Ripe aromas of exotic fruits and spices; conveys an impression of lower acidity. Then fat, supple and sweet, but without the depth or balance of the best 2007s here. Broad, dry and slightly warm; finishes with good cut but a faint edge of tart acidity.’ - Stephen Tanzer, Vinous (July 2009)
