One of the greatest domaines in Chablis founded by William Fevre in 1957 and its vineyard holdings include 12 hectares of premier cru and 16 hectares of grand Cru vines. The domaines fruit is harvested by hand, a rarity in Chablis, and rigorously sorted at the winery to ensure the highest quality. In recent times the amount of new oak used has been cut back and today the average age of the barrels in the cellar is five years. From the Petit Chablis to the domaines six Grand Cru wines, the quality is superb and the range from Domaine William Fevre is a benchmark for the wines of the region.

Firm reduction dominates the nose though wisps of citrus character can be discerned. In contrast to the Les Lys, here the much bigger-bodied flavors possess very fine density and obvious power on the sappy lemon rind suffused finish. This firm and serious effort will need to develop more depth but if it does this could well be excellent.

Bursting with aromas of dried white flowers, crisp yellow orchard fruit and freshly baked bread, the 2020 Chablis 1er Cru Mont de Milieu is medium to full-bodied, fleshy and textural, with bright acids and a rich core of fruit that reflects its origins in a sunny, well-exposed site. This is one of the more demonstrative premiers crus in the range. Date: Jul 2022; Drink: 2021-2041; Rating: 91 Points; William Kelley; Robert Parker's The Wine Advocate
