" Complex aromas of chalk, dried apple and pear, with a touch of cream. It's full-bodied and already open. Chalky finish. Lightly structured on the palate. Drink now or cellar. " James Suckling, 92 points/100
“Meeting the optimistic expectations I set a year ago, the 2018 Premier Cru Montée de Tonnerre opens with aromas of lemon oil, freshly baked bread, crisp green apple, white flowers, wet stones, and oyster juice. Silky and incisive, it is taut and vibrant, with lively acidity, lovely depth at its core, and a long, flavorful finish.” William Kelley, The Wine Advocate, 93+ points/100
Montée de Tonnerre de Fèvre is a blend of three climates: Pied d'Aloup (east-facing), Chapelot (south-facing) and Côte de Bréchain (west-facing, vines planted in 1936). This terroir naturally produces intensely mineral wines. A lively and precise wine not to be missed.

Tasting notes
The robe of this 2018 Chablis 1er Cru Montée de Tonnerre is a brilliant gold, reflecting its youth and vibrancy. On the nose, aromas of white flowers and white-fleshed fruits, such as pear, mingle with mineral notes typical of the appellation. On the palate, the attack is crisp, with lovely tension and refreshing acidity. The long, saline finish evokes the Chablis terroir, leaving a memorable impression that invites reflection.

The Domaine William Fèvre vineyard is situated on the finest slopes of Chablis, where the continental climate promotes optimal grape ripening. The soils, rich in clay and limestone, are ideal for Chardonnay, allowing for a unique expression of this grape variety. The vines, averaging 30 years old, are cultivated with care, favoring low yields to guarantee superior quality. Each plot is vinified separately, revealing the diversity of Chablis' terroirs.
The team's opinion
A Chablis 1er Cru that reveals striking complexity and minerality, perfect for epicureans in search of authenticity.
