2022 is by all accounts a knock-out vintage for Fèvre, perhaps his greatest ever, with scores up to 98 points from Jasper Morris. In fact Fèvre’s wines are so good that in 2022, there are no less than 3 wines in the top 10 of the vintage, and all all four wines we're offering are five-star rated by Jasper. What a treat!
From a very well-regarded premier cru vineyard bordered by Chablis' seven grands crus and armed by many of the region's top producers, including Raveneau. William Fèvre's 2.24ha parcel is from three plots comprising some of the vineyard's best sites, including one with vines from the 1930s.
Optimal drinking window: Now - 2036
What the critics say:
"A stunning example, with finesse allied to power. Real tension and energy here. Will be approachable quite young, but really should be aged for over five years for the best result. Fèvre has 2.24ha within Montée de Tonnerre. Plots are located in Pied d'Aloup (facing east) with profound Kimmeridgian soils bringing freshness, Chapelot facing south on deep soil adding richness, and Côte de Brechain facing west on top of the hill with the oldest plots dating back to 1936. "
"From multiple plots: east facing kimmeridgian marl in Pied d’Aloue (0.50ha), one hectare in Chapelot, (more soil here, fatter wine), then the rest in Bréchain, where vines dating back to 1936, give tension. What a beautiful bouquet. This has the sensual aspect of a delightful sunny summer, yet with an entrancing freshness behind. This is quintessential right bank, yet with balance Drink from 2027-2037. Tasted: June 2023. '5 star wine'"
