Tasting Notes

Domaine William Fevre Chablis Montmains 1er Cru 2020 exemplifies the classical expression of left bank Chablis with remarkable finesse and depth. This prestigious Premier Cru vineyard is meticulously crafted from grapes sourced across all three distinct sections of Montmains, delivering a complex and layered profile that stands out among Burgundy whites.

On the nose, this 2020 vintage presents an elegant bouquet of white flowers, crisp green apple, and subtle mineral nuances typical of Chablis. The palate is pure and refined, showcasing a vibrant acidity balanced by a subtle creaminess and a long, mineral-driven finish. These characteristics reflect the unique Kimmeridgian limestone soils of the Montmains vineyard, which impart a signature flinty minerality that wine enthusiasts admire.

The 2020 vintage benefited from ideal growing conditions in Burgundy, combining a warm summer and cool nights that promoted perfect ripeness and aromatic concentration without sacrificing freshness. The result is a wine that is both approachable in its youth and capable of graceful aging, evolving complexity over time.

Domaine William Fevre is renowned for its commitment to terroir expression and sustainable viticulture, ensuring that each bottle authentically represents the distinctiveness of its origin. This Chablis Montmains 1er Cru is a must-have for those seeking a refined, layered white Burgundy with classic elegance and exceptional purity.

Critic Scores

Here too the nose is elegant, pure and layered but with more floral and spice nuances adding breadth to the cooler and more restrained aromas. There is both excellent intensity and density to the mineral-driven flavors that terminate in a bone-dry, sneaky long and balanced finale. This too is really very good. Drink from 2027+. 91-93 points. Allen Meadows - Burghound

Consisting of roughly equal parts Montmains, Butteaux and Forêts (the three sous-climats of Montmains), the 2020 Chablis 1er Cru Montmains offers up aromas of crisp green apple, white flowers, bee pollen and oyster shell. Medium to full-bodied, satiny and concentrated, it's taut and precise, concluding with a saline finish. Drink 2023 - 2045. William Kelley.

About this Wine

Burgundy

Burgundy is undoubtedly the home of the finest Pinot Noir and Chardonnays in the world, where vineyards, or Domaines have been producing wines for over 2000 years. Burgundy is located in the North-east of France, an hours drive from Lyon and 2 hours from Paris. With over 100 appellations, or sub-regions (more than any other wine region) Burgundy is known for being the most terroir-oriented region in the World. The finest red wines of Burgundy are found in the Côte d'Or, a string of villages including Côte de Nuits, Gevrey-Chambertin, Morey St Denis, Chambolle-Musigny, Vougeot, Vosne-Romanée and Nuits-St Georges.

There are flavours present in great Burgundys that are the envy of Pinot Noir producers worldwide. The elusive peacocks tail finish that goes on and on, and the pretty-elegance backed by Burgundy muscle is the goal of winemakers around the globe. The main levels in the Burgundy classifications, in descending order of quality, are: Grand crus, Premier crus, village appellations, and finally regional appellations. For the Chablis wines, a similar hierarchy of Grand Cru, Premier Cru and Village wines is used, plus Petit Chablis as a level below Village Chablis.
