An introduction to Domaine William Fevre, Chablis Grand Cru, Valmur, Burgundy
This Chablis from Domaine Fevre comes from a 1.1-hectare plot of Chardonnay vines located in the Grand Cru Valmur vineyard. The Fevre holdings are split between both the south and west-facing hillsides that comprise the appellation, allowing for a highly accurate expression of this single terroir. The steep topography of the vineyard acts as something of a heat-trap, encouraging consistent ripeness and phenolic accumulation in the grapes. This fragrance and fruit-forwardness is a signature of the Domaine Fevre cuvée.
