Chablis 1er Cru Vaulorent Domaine Fevre William, 2022

Chablis 1er Cru Vaulorent from Domaine William Fèvre is a polished expression of one of Chablis’ most celebrated Premier Cru vineyards. From the elegant 2022 vintage, it combines precision, mineral drive, and classic Chardonnay purity with the finesse that has made the domaine a benchmark in the region.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, it typically shows a pale, bright gold with green reflections, hinting at its freshness and youth. The nose is refined and layered, offering citrus zest, green apple, white flowers, and a distinct flinty, chalky minerality, with subtle hints of oyster shell and wet stone. On the palate, it is taut and energetic, with a clean, linear structure and vivid acidity balanced by a touch of ripe orchard fruit. The finish is long and saline, underpinned by the limestone-driven character that defines great Chablis. While already expressive, it should reward cellaring over the medium term and gain added complexity with 5–10 years of aging.

Production
Vaulorent is a Premier Cru site in Chablis known for its Kimmeridgian limestone soils, which lend the wine its signature mineral intensity and tension. Domaine William Fèvre works with careful vineyard selection and sustainable viticulture, harvesting by hand where appropriate to preserve fruit quality. The wine is vinified to emphasize purity and site expression, typically with controlled fermentation and restrained oak use so the terroir remains front and center.

Food & Serving
This wine is a natural partner for oysters, shellfish, sushi, grilled white fish, and delicate poultry dishes with lemon or herb sauces. It also pairs beautifully with creamy goat cheese and classic Burgundy fare such as escargots. Serve chilled, ideally around 10–12°C, and decanting is usually not necessary unless the bottle is very young.
