From Domaine William Fèvre's 1ha plot in Les Lys (one of Chablis' coolest Premier Crus), hand-harvested Chardonnay from old vines on Kimmeridgian limestone undergoes direct pressing. Partial fermentation in neutral French oak (average 6 years old, 30-35% of total) and stainless steel; aged 12 months on fine lees for texture while preserving minerality, reflecting organic practices amid 2021's frost-challenged vintage. Bottled at 12.5% alcohol.
Tasting Notes
Cooler aromatics of citrus, quinine, essence of algae, almonds, white flowers, green apple, and crisp stone fruit. Ultra-sleek, mineral-driven palate with cuts-like-a-knife delineation, oyster shell, saline notes, racy acidity, fine-boned charm, and a chiseled, linear, moderately austere finish.
Awards and Accolades

Serving and Cellaring
Serve at 11-13°C in a Chablis glass after 30 minutes decanting; drink 2028-2045+ for optimal development. Pairs with shellfish, grilled fish, or white meats in cream sauce; excellent aging potential from structure.
