2021 Chablis 1st Cru Vaillons, dry, 12.5% vol., William Fevre

The William Fevre winery is now one of the absolute top wineries in Chablis, along with two other wineries. They are listed in the highest category in all wine guides. The terroir of Chablis is characterized by a high proportion of Kimmeridge chalk in various forms, which gives the wines enormous minerality and a steely acidity and is also responsible for their long storage life. All of the winery`s efforts are aimed at expressing the subtle variations of the best individual vineyards. 40% of the 1st Cru are stored in used barriques for 12 months. William Fevre is the largest owner of Grand Cru vineyards in Chablis, with 15% of the 100 hectares.
