William Fevre, Chablis Vaillons 1. Cru, 2016

William Fèvre’s Chablis Vaillons 1er Cru 2016 is a rare and highly sought-after expression from one of Chablis’ most admired Premier Cru vineyards. Sourced from the limestone-and-clay soils of Vaillons, this wine captures the pure, mineral-driven style that has made Chablis a benchmark for refined Chardonnay.

Tasting Notes
Pale gold with a bright, luminous sheen, this wine opens with elegant aromas of stone fruit, white flowers, and a subtle flinty mineral edge. On the palate it is broad yet beautifully balanced, with impressive depth, ripe fruit, and a classic Chablis freshness that keeps the wine vibrant and precise. The mineral character is especially pronounced, giving the wine tension and length rather than heaviness. While already expressive, the 2016 vintage has the structure and concentration to develop gracefully over the next several years, gaining even more nuance and complexity with bottle age.

Production
Vaillons is one of Chablis’ most distinguished Premier Cru sites, known for its fossil-rich Kimmeridgian limestone and clay soils that lend the wine its unmistakable salinity and depth. The grapes come from Domaine Baillard, a trusted partner selected by William Fèvre for specific cuvées, reflecting a careful focus on site expression and quality. Vinification is guided by a hands-off philosophy that allows the terroir to remain at the center of the wine.

Food & Serving
This Chablis is an excellent match for shellfish, oysters, grilled or poached fish, and delicate poultry dishes. Serve chilled at around 10–12°C to preserve its freshness and aromatic detail. Decanting is not necessary, but a short rest in the glass can help the wine раскры its layered aromas.
