William Fevre, Chablis 1er Cru, Montmains 2020

William Fevre

Case Format: 6x75cl

Premier cru Montmain’s unique terroir of very stony terrain produces a wine with very pronounced mineral aromas, extraordinary power and excellent ageing potential. This is a structured, lively and mineral wine with good length on the palate. Both straightforward and fresh, with exemplary concentration.

When William Févre declared their first vintage in 1959, they owned just seven hectares of vineyard. Today they have 78 hectares of some of the most prestigious terroir in the world. The deep Kimmeridgian (clay & limestone) soils of Chablis give the wines their incredible freshness and minerality. Commitment to quality is not in question and talented winemaker Didier Séguier, at the helm since 1998, crafts some of the region’s most characterful wines. Harvesting is all done by hard, allowing for fruit to arrive at the winery in prime condition, ahead of a judicious sorting to only select the very best quality.

Andy Howard MW

A wine from a selection of sites over 3.9ha in Butteaux, Forêts and Montmains. Butteaux is very cold and mineral, while Forêts is elegant and floral. Great precision and focus here, allied with crystalline citrus fruits on the palate. Shows density, but is also very fresh, with lovely mineral characters on the finish. A highly successful Montmains.

William Kelley

Consisting of roughly equal parts Montmains, Butteaux and Forêts (the three sous-climats of Montmains), the 2020 Chablis 1er Cru Montmains offers up aromas of crisp green apple, white flowers, bee pollen and oyster shell. Medium to full-bodied, satiny and concentrated, its taut and precise, concluding with a saline finish.
