2021 William Fevre Chablis Grand Cru Les Clos, Burgundy, France

ABOUT THE WINE
Sourced from Chablis’ most iconic Grand Cru vineyard, the 2021 Les Clos reflects William Fèvre’s commitment to purity and terroir transparency. Planted on steep, southwest-facing slopes rich in Kimmeridgian limestone and fossilized marine sediments, this site delivers unmatched depth and structure. The cool, challenging 2021 vintage resulted in lower yields and remarkable concentration, with wines marked by energy, purity, and precision.

Hand-harvested from 60+-year-old vines, the grapes were gently pressed and fermented with native yeasts. About 60–70% of the wine was aged in neutral French oak barrels for 14–15 months, adding subtle textural richness without masking the wine’s mineral core. Aromas of lemon zest, green apple, crushed stone, and acacia blossom lead into a palate of great tension and length, evolving with hints of almond and subtle smoke.

Pair with classic dishes like oysters, Dover sole in beurre blanc, or creamy scallop risotto for a harmonious experience.

ABOUT THE PRODUCER
William Fèvre is one of Chablis’ benchmark producers, renowned for their meticulous vineyard stewardship and terroir-driven style. Established in 1959 and based in the heart of Chablis, the domaine owns one of the largest holdings of Grand Cru and Premier Cru vineyards in the region, most of which are farmed organically with conversion to biodynamic practices underway.

In the cellar, the philosophy is to showcase the purity of Chardonnay and the stony elegance of Chablis’ soils. Intervention is minimal, and oak usage is judicious—never more than necessary to enhance the wine’s structure and complexity. With a legacy built on precision and respect for nature, William Fèvre continues to define the elegance and minerality of true Chablis.
