William Fèvre - Chablis Domaine 2022

Bettane & Desseauve

About the estate:

In post since the estate was bought by Bouchard Père et Fils of Beaune nearly a quarter of a century ago, Didier Séguier has significantly improved the quality of the wines since then. While the vineyards are undoubtedly the finest in the entire Chablis region, both in terms of premier cru and grand cru wines, it is the meticulous and rigorous work carried out in the vineyard and in the cellar that allows the quintessential minerality of Chablis' Kimmeridgian limestone to be extracted. These wines can generally be enjoyed young, but also age impeccably.

About wine:

Distinct notes of shellfish. Lots of volume, a fleshy and sunny character on the palate, refreshed by a lingering salinity on the finish. An excellent example of Chablis 2022. Produced from 40 hectares of vines, with three distinct parcels, including one from a lovely vineyard to the east around Viviers, with vines planted in the 1960s, but all the vines are very old.

About wine:

It perfectly captures the spirit of the vintage with ripe fruit and a smooth texture. A delicious, mouthwatering Chablis.

About the estate:

Owned by the Henriot group, this estate is the largest owner of Chablis grands crus, with more than fifteen hectares. Its vast vineyard and range of great terroirs are enhanced by meticulous organization: soil cultivation, manual harvesting at the optimal time, and yield regulation. Passionate about his vines, Didier Seguier, who has been at the helm of the estate since 1998, produces pure, well-defined and clean Chablis wines, using organic methods (certification pending) and even biodynamic methods for the premier and grand cru wines. With the exception of Petit Chablis, vinification and aging are skillfully divided for each cuvée between barrels (never new) and stainless steel vats. Refusing to impose any signature style, the wines seduce with their respect for the terroir and expression of minerality, which have been better preserved since the estate gradually switched its entire range to Diam's corks between 2005 and 2010. The conversion to organic farming is underway.

About wine:

Ripe fruit, with almost a hint of pineapple softened by stony citrus. Dry, dense, firm. Nice balance between ripe fruit and freshness, with a lovely chalky finish.
