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\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e17\/20 - Julia Harding MW - JancisRobinson.com, Jan 2026\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003e“Green-fruited and stony.

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.

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\u003eA 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.\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":68059993276525,"sku":"NEGNWPR1D332","price":144.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1421\/5622\/files\/william-fevre-montmains-premier-cru-2017-med.jpg?v=1758996454","url":"https:\/\/worldwine.com.au\/products\/domaine-william-fevre-chablis-premier-cru-montmains-2024","provider":"World Wine","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
