ABOUT THIS WINE
Domaine William Fèvre Chablis is a 100% Chardonnay from the Chablis appellation in Burgundy, France. The estate is a significant landowner in Chablis, particularly in its Grand Cru vineyards, and is now owned by Domaines Barons de Rothschild (Lafite). The 2021 vintage was marked by cooler weather and frost, resulting in lower yields but wines with classic elegance and acidity. The vineyards are rooted in Kimmeridgian soils, a key factor in the region's characteristic minerality.
