Chablis 1er Cru Montée De Tonnerre Domaine Fevre William, 2023

Chablis 1er Cru Montée de Tonnerre from Domaine William Fèvre is a classic expression of one of the appellation’s most admired premier cru sites. Known for its precision, minerality and lifted elegance, this 2023 vintage reflects the cool-climate purity that has made Chablis a benchmark for world-class Chardonnay.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, this wine typically shows a pale lemon-gold color with bright clarity. The nose is refined and expressive, with notes of citrus peel, white flowers, green apple, and a distinctive flinty, oyster-shell minerality that is so closely associated with Chablis. On the palate, it is crisp and focused, balancing fresh acidity with a concentrated core of fruit. Expect layers of lemon, pear, wet stone, and subtle saline complexity, with a long, precise finish. While already charming in its youth, Montée de Tonnerre has the structure and depth to develop beautifully over time, often gaining more texture and nuance with several years of cellar aging.

Production
Montée de Tonnerre is one of Chablis’ most celebrated premier cru vineyards, shaped by Kimmeridgian limestone soils rich in ancient marine fossils. Domaine William Fèvre works with vineyard parcels that benefit from this distinctive terroir, helping to produce wines of remarkable tension, depth, and minerality. The fruit is carefully harvested and vinified to preserve freshness and the natural character of the site, with a restrained approach that allows the vineyard expression to remain at the forefront.

Food & Serving
This wine pairs beautifully with oysters, shellfish, grilled fish, sushi, and elegant poultry dishes in cream-based sauces. It also works very well with goat cheese and refined vegetarian dishes featuring asparagus or mushrooms. Serve chilled, ideally around 10–12°C, and consider brief decanting if the wine is very closed on opening, though it is often best enjoyed directly from the bottle to appreciate its freshness.

Producer
Domaine William Fèvre is one of Chablis’ most respected producers, with a long-standing reputation for crafting precise, terroir-driven wines. Founded in the 1950s, the domaine has become particularly associated with some of the region’s finest vineyard holdings, including many premier and grand cru sites. Its commitment to careful vineyard work and transparent winemaking has earned it international recognition as a leading name in Chablis.
