Chablis 1er Cru Fourchaume Domaine Fevre William, 2022

Domaine William Fèvre’s Chablis 1er Cru Fourchaume 2022 is a refined expression of Chardonnay from one of Chablis’ most respected names. Sourced from a prized Premier Cru site, it combines precision, brightness, and a distinctly mineral character that has made Chablis a benchmark for cool-climate white wine.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, this wine typically shows a pale straw color with greenish reflections. The nose is elegant and lifted, offering citrus zest, white flowers, green apple, and subtle flinty, chalky notes that speak to the cool soils of Chablis. On the palate, it is crisp and focused, with fresh lemon, orchard fruit, and a clean saline minerality woven through a finely textured frame. The finish is long and precise, with enough concentration to suggest good aging potential over the next 5 to 8 years, and likely longer in a strong cellar.

Production
Fourchaume is one of Chablis’ most admired Premier Cru vineyards, known for its classic Kimmeridgian limestone and clay soils that lend the wine its tension and mineral depth. Domaine William Fèvre works with careful vineyard management and hand harvesting where appropriate, followed by a vinification approach designed to preserve freshness and site expression. Depending on the parcel, fermentation and maturation may involve stainless steel and a measured use of oak to maintain balance rather than dominance.

Food & Serving
This Chablis pairs beautifully with oysters, shellfish, grilled white fish, sushi, poultry in cream sauce, and goat cheese. Serve well chilled at around 10–12°C, and decanting is generally unnecessary, though a short rest in the glass can help the wine open up.
