About this Wine

90-92 POINTS - Neal Martin - Vinous, Jun 2025
“The 2024 Chablis Montmains 1er Cru, cropped at 12 to 13 hl/ha higher as it escaped the worst of the hail, has good presence on the nose, with light honeysuckle and orange pith notes emerging with time. The palate is well balanced and fresh with good depth of flavor, a keen line of acidity and a twist of bitter lemon on the sapid finish. I actually might prefer this to the previous vintage. The 2024 is very fine.” Drink: 2027 - 2037

17/20 - Julia Harding MW - JancisRobinson.com, Jan 2026
“Green-fruited and stony. Intense, tight citrus, just a slight chalkiness adding to the length. Drive and persistence.” Drink: 2028 - 2034

Jasper Morris MW - Inside Burgundy, Jul 2025
“Their plots mostly escaped the hail. 15 hl/ha. Glowing lemon and lime. Lightly stony on the nose, then builds in volume across the palate, with a marine note and a little beneficial bitterness at the finish to confirm the terroir. Once again, a fine long finish.” Drink: 2028 - 2032

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
A structured, lively and mineral Premier Cru from the left bank. The domaine's Montmains plots mostly escaped the hail in 2024, yielding 12 to 15 hl/ha, and the result is straightforward, fresh and stony, with exemplary concentration and good length.

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.
