About this Wine

DON'T MISS! 94-97 POINTS - Allen Meadows - Burghound.com, Oct 2025
“This is also wonderfully elegant, pure and airy with its combination of citrus, petrol, quinine, salt water and algae. Here too the mouthfeel of the big-bodied flavors is dense to the point of being almost thick yet the natural refinement of a classic Preuses is maintained, all wrapped in a precise, palate staining, massively long and perfectly balanced finish. This is seriously good and while finding it may be well nigh impossible, if you do don’t hesitate!” Drink: 2036+

95 POINTS - Charles Curtis MW - Decanter, Sep 2025
“Expressive, featuring fruit aromas of ripe pear and nectarine rather than citrus. There is a silky elegance and delicacy to the texture that sets it apart from the domaine’s more powerful Les Clos, but it is still a wine of compelling beauty. Fèvre farms 2.5ha here in two parcels: a hectare on a steep slope on the edge of Vaudésir and a further 1.5ha on the plateau at the top of the slope.” Drink: 2030 - 2050

90-93 POINTS - Jasper Morris MW - Inside Burgundy, Jul 2025
“Les Preuses was both badly hailed and mildewed, leaving just 4 hl/ha. Mid lemon yellow, starts quietly then a whiff of the real Preuses. Fills the mid palate, not quite so much behind. A little spice to finish. Slight lemon notes as well.” Drink: 2029 - 2034

89-91 POINTS - Neal Martin - Vinous, Jun 2025
“The 2024 Chablis Les Preuses Grand Cru was affected by hail. Because of that, it lacks a little energy on the nose compared to the Vaudésir. The palate is well balanced, clean and citrus-fresh, but this is just a bit short on the finish.” Drink: 2027 - 2040

Winery
Domaine William Fèvre is one of the benchmark estates of Chablis, with holdings concentrated across the appellation's Premier and Grand Cru climats on classic Kimmeridgian limestone and marl. Under winemaker Didier Séguier the domaine pursues purity and precision: fruit is hand-picked, strictly sorted and gently pressed, with a measured use of oak adding texture without masking the wines' mineral core.

Wine
Fèvre farms 2.5 hectares of Les Preuses in two parcels: one hectare on a steep slope at the edge of Vaudésir and 1.5 hectares on the plateau above. Hail and mildew left just 4 hl/ha in 2024. Floral and intensely mineral, with lightly smoky touches, it is round, full-bodied and refined.

Vintage Notes
2024 was a vintage that left a lasting impression. After a particularly mild February, March continued mild with very wet conditions. April brought two nights of frost and a first, minor episode of hail, before a very heavy hailstorm struck the Chablis vineyards on 1 May, severely affecting the left bank. May and June saw fluctuating temperatures that slowed flowering, while alternating rain and thunderstorms led to high mildew pressure. Hail struck again at the end of July, giving way to a drier and warmer August, and September began mildly, allowing the grapes to ripen. Harvest began on 20 September in good conditions, with a larger team of 220 pickers bringing everything in within three and a half days. The quality was there, but the succession of climatic hazards had a significant impact on volumes: the domaine's average yield after strict sorting was just 9 hl/ha, and many Grand Cru plots yielded only five to six.

Wines of Chablis

Arguably the most uniquely tasting Chardonnay in the world, most people are blown away to discover this special type of Chardonnay for the first time. The cool climate region produces wines with more acidity and less fruit flavours, but a unique flinty note derived from the soils.

Although considered a part of the Burgundy wine region, Chablis is closer in distance to Champagne which it shares an exceedingly rare and unique soil with. Kimmeridgian soil is not found anywhere else in the world except in southern England, Champagne and Chablis. A 180-million-year-old geologic formation of decomposed clay and limestone, containing tiny fossilized oyster shells, this soil type produces wines full of minerality, salinity, intensity, and finesse.

In Chablis they use a similar ranking system to that of Burgundy. From Grand Crus at the top, to Premier Crus, to Chablis and Petit Chablis at the bottom.
