Bloomberg wine columnist Elin McCoy featured the wines of William Fèvre after meeting with Winemaker Didier Séguier for a focused Chablis tasting and interview in New York. In her “Top Shelf” newsletter, McCoy highlights William Fèvre Vaulorent 2022 and William Fèvre Les Clos 2022 among her top six white Burgundy recommendations. The piece captures insights from their conversation on recent harvests and emphasizes why Chablis is thriving right now.

The article emphasizes Fèvre’s commitment to organic farming and noted that the domaine, with 43 hectares of premiers and grands crus, has been organic for 20 years—something Séguier says has directly improved freshness in the wines.

McCoy praises the 2022 William Fèvre Vaulorent for its grand cru-like richness, intense savory character, and minerality with “bright saltiness.” She recounted the 2022 William Fèvre Les Clos as a powerful, structured, and age-worthy grand cru, describing the vintage as “citrusy bright and fresh,” yet “layered and deep.” McCoy underscored Chablis’s rising value and appeal for investors seeking alternatives to more expensive white Burgundies.

In the VinePair story “17 of the Best Wines from Chablis,” wine writer Edward Deitch explores the unique character of Chablis and its evolution in the modern wine landscape. The piece highlights William Fèvre Chablis Grand Cru ‘Les Preuses’ 2022 and William Fèvre Premier Cru ‘Les Lys’ 2022 for their precision and regional typicity.

Deitch underscores Chablis as a pure, mineral-driven expression of Chardonnay shaped by its Kimmeridgian limestone soils and cool climate. “When you drink Chablis, you don’t drink Chardonnay,” explains William Fèvre winemaker Didier Séguier. “You drink Kimmeridgian — and the freshness, the salinity, the minerality from the soil.”

• William Fèvre Chablis Grand Cru ‘Les Preuses’ 2022
  Floral and fruity aromas meet intense minerality and subtle smokiness. The palate is round, full-bodied, and refined, with a graceful, driven finish.
• William Fèvre Premier Cru ‘Les Lys’ 2022
  Pale gold with citrus, mineral, and toasted notes on the nose. Richly textured with crisp structure and a long, elegant finish that reflects its unique terroir.

A recent feature on Opening a Bottle celebrates Domaine William Fèvre as one of Burgundy’s rare “old reliables”: an estate whose Chablis remains deeply classical while delivering exceptional consistency vintage after vintage. The piece explores how Fèvre’s strength lies not in trends but in a clear philosophy: rigor in the vineyard, restraint in the cellar, comfort with legacy, and an ability to translate Chablis’ marine fossil soils into tension and purity in the glass.

Writer Kevin Day underscores why collectors and sommeliers return to Fèvre: the wines don’t seek attention, but they earn it with precise acidity, transparent fruit, and a mineral edge that defines great Chablis. The tasting portion spotlights the 2023 Domaine William Fèvre Chablis Premier Cru Vaillons, described as a benchmark expression with bright citrus, saline minerality, and elegant lift — a wine that places Vaillons among the most compelling Premier Cru sites for the vintage.

We love seeing Domaine William Fèvre featured in Robb Report’s latest roundup of must-buy Chablis — a nice nod to the house’s status as a go-to for classic, mineral-driven Chardonnay. The list spotlights a range of standout wines that capture everything we love about Chablis right now, and the inclusion of Fèvre’s 2023 Chablis Vaillons Premier Cru is no surprise: it delivers a signature balance of precision, freshness, and “crushed oyster shell” minerality that Robb Report suggests is well worth seeking out.

Robb Report breaks down what sets Chablis apart from other Chardonnay in “There’s a Chablis for Every Kind of Chardonnay Lover,” and Didier Séguier, director of Domaine William Fèvre, offers the piece’s clearest explanation of the region’s identity, telling the outlet, “Chardonnay is simply the vehicle through which the terroir expresses itself.”

Séguier walks through his approach across the estate’s range. Basic Chablis ages in stainless steel with frequent lees stirring for 10 to 12 months, while the premier cru and grand cru wines see 14 to 18 months in barrel, 30 to 40 percent of the blend, without ever leaning on new oak. Instead, Séguier sources barrels from the Côte d’Or that have already seen a vintage or two of use, replacing about 10 percent of his stock each year and keeping barrels in rotation for roughly eight years, landing on an average barrel age of about five years. As he puts it, the goal was never to add oak flavor to the wine.

The piece also notes Domaine William Fèvre’s standing in the region, founded in 1959 and now farming 172 acres across 90 separate plots, most under biodynamic practices, making it one of Chablis’ most significant landholders.
