The super-sleek and almost painfully intense medium weight flavors possess a sensational mouthfeel before culminating in a powerful and hugely long finish. This is a seriously good wine and recommended without reservation though I take care to underscore that it’s completely atypical for Les Lys. With that said, if you can find it, buy it.” Drink: 2032+\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e90-92 POINTS - Neal Martin - Vinous, Jun 2025\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003e“There are just two barrels of the 2024 Chablis Les Lys 1er Cru this vintage. It is light and airy on the finely delineated nose, with fragrant apple blossom and citrus peel aromas emerging from the glass. The palate is crisp, linear and quite tensile in style. It’s maybe a bit conservative, but with satisfying persistence. The 2024 is brisk and lively.” Drink: 2027 - 2037\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e89-91 POINTS - Jasper Morris MW - Inside Burgundy, Jul 2025\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003e“Just three barrels made from one hectare. Pale in colour, with very little nose, a bit of soft white fruit. Seems innocuous at first but then much more concentration of pure white fruit with a little lemony note right at the finish.” Drink: 2028 - 2031\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWinery\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eDomaine 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWine\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eLes Lys is one of the domaine's hidden gems: a single hectare within the Vaillons sector. In 2024 only two to three barrels were made, making this one of the rarest wines of the release. Burghound named it a 'Sweet Spot' wine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVintage Notes\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e2024 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.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Domaine William Fèvre","offers":[{"title":"1 Bottle","offer_id":68059993505901,"sku":"NEGNWPR1D334","price":144.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1421\/5622\/products\/DomaineWilliamFevreLesLysPremierCru2017.jpg?v=1735900859","url":"https:\/\/worldwine.com.au\/products\/domaine-william-fevre-chablis-premier-cru-les-lys-2024","provider":"World Wine","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
