William Fevre Mont de Milieu Chablis Premier Cru

Region: Chablis, Burgundy, France

Vintage: 2020

Bottle size: 75cl

ABV: 13%

Intense mineral character. Fine yet powerful, racy and delicate, this wine has remarkable length on the palate. With age it develops aromas of candied fruit and hazelnuts, with a few toasty touches.

The name of this appellation comes from Mont de Lieu which marks the border between Burgundy and Champagne, illustrated by a marker stone dividing the two duchies which can be found on its summit. With a double exposure moving from south to southeast facing, this terroir benefits from a higher average temperature and more sunshine than the other Premiers Crus.

1959, the year in which William Fèvre declared his first crop, marked the birth of the domain. Descended from a family which had lived in the Chablis region for over 250 years, it was only natural that he set up as a winemaker with 7 hectares of vineyards. Over the years the domain has acquired new vineyards in Chablis, all located in the historic terroirs. William Fèvre has become one of the biggest land owners in Chablis with 78 hectares of prestigious vineyards, of which 15.9 are classified as Premiers Crus and 15.2 as Grand Crus.
