"An excellent example of Chablis 2022 (Decanter)".
"Ripe fruit, with almost a touch of pineapple softened by stony citrus. Dry, dense, firm. Nice balance between ripe fruit and freshness, with a nicely chalky finish." (Jancis Robinson 2024)

Domaine William Fèvre
Chablis
Expert opinion
Bettane & Desseauve
Domaine rated (guide 2021) 5*Stars (Outstanding producers, those who represent the absolute pinnacle of quality in France and the world)
About the domain :
Didier Séguier has been at the helm since the estate was taken over by Beaune-based Bouchard Père et Fils almost a quarter of a century ago, and since then he has made great strides in improving the quality of the wines. The estate's vineyards are certainly the finest in the Chablis region, both in terms of premier and grand crus, but the diligent, rigorous work in both vineyard and cellar enables us to extract the quintessential minerality of Chablis's Kimmeridgian limestone. These are wines that can regularly be enjoyed young, but which also stand up impeccably to ageing.
Decanter
Wine rated (guide 2023) 93/100
About the wine:
Distinctive notes of shellfish. Plenty of volume, a fleshy, sunny character on the palate, refreshed by a lingering salinity on the finish. An excellent example of Chablis 2022. From 40 ha of vines, with three distinct parcels, one of which comes from a pretty vineyard to the east around Viviers, with vines planted in the 1960s, but all very old.

Rated wine (guide 2025 ) 91/100
Domaine rated (guide 2023) 2*Stars (These great estates, often blessed with fabulous terroirs, are must-haves which, thanks to their consistency and the excellence of their production, must be included in the cellars of discerning wine lovers).
About the wine:
The ripe fruit and unctuous texture reflect the spirit of the vintage. A greedy, salivating Chablis.
About the domain :
Owned by the Henriot group, this estate is the largest Grands Crus owner in Chablis, with over 15 hectares. Its vast vineyard and range of great terroirs are enhanced by meticulous organization: ploughing of the soil, manual harvesting at the optimum date, yield control. Passionate about his vines, Didier Seguier, who has been at the helm of the domaine since 1998, produces pure, well-defined, clean Chablis, using organic methods (certification underway) and even biodynamic methods for the premier and grand crus. With the exception of the Petit Chablis, vinification and ageing for each cuvée are skilfully divided between barrels - never new - and stainless steel tanks. Rejecting any kind of signature, the style seduces with its respect for terroir and expression of minerality, better preserved since the estate gradually converted the entire range to Diam's corks between 2005 and 2010. Organic conversion is underway.
