Tasting Notes

Crafted from 100% Chardonnay grapes, this premier cru wine reflects the unique limestone-rich soils of Fourchaume, contributing to its distinctive minerality and vibrant acidity.

The 2020 vintage is celebrated for its ideal growing conditions, producing wines with remarkable balance and purity. This vintage captures the fresh citrus and green apple aromas typical of Chablis, enhanced by subtle floral notes and a hint of white peach. On the palate, the wine reveals a refined texture with crisp acidity, layered with flavors of lemon zest, flint, and a delicate saline finish that lingers gracefully.

William Fevre, a respected name in Chablis winemaking, is known for meticulous vineyard management and traditional vinification techniques that preserve the natural expression of the terroir. The Fourchaume vineyard, one of the largest and most esteemed premier cru sites, benefits from an ideal microclimate that fosters optimal ripening and complexity.

This wine pairs beautifully with seafood, particularly oysters and shellfish, as well as light poultry dishes and creamy cheeses, making it a versatile choice for refined dining experiences.

  • Region: Chablis, Burgundy, France
  • Variety: 100% Chardonnay
  • Vintage: 2020 – noted for balanced acidity and expressive fruit

Critic Scores

An abundance of Chablis typicity is present on the aromas of mineral reduction, white orchard fruit, citrus zest, and tidal pool. There is again very good volume and density to the medium-bodied flavours that are unusually powerful for Fourchaume, all wrapped in a lemony and almost salty finish. This is quite promising and particularly so for a négociant offering.

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.
