"As I have observed before, Vaulorent is one of my absolute favorite vineyards in all of Chablis, and the 2011 from Domaine William Fèvre was showing superb potential at the time of my visit. The deep and quite reserved nose wafts from the glass in a classic and very, very elegant blend of pink grapefruit, pear, lemongrass, flinty minerality and a topnote of citrus blossoms. On the palate the wine is very pure, full-bodied and nascently complex, with a very primary personality, a rock solid core, zesty acids and outstanding focus on the very, very long and transparent finish. This will be a great wine in the fullness of time and I will be shocked if it does not ultimately merit a score at the top of this range."

The world's most influential fine-wine producer and the benchmark for Bordeaux, Burgundy, Champagne and the Rhone. Its appellation (AOC) system codifies geography, grape and method, and its wines set the global standard for age-worthiness and terroir expression.
Produces the world's most revered Pinot Noir and Chardonnay from a mosaic of tiny, terroir-defined climats. Its hierarchy of village, Premier Cru and Grand Cru vineyards makes site the ultimate expression of quality.
Produces steely, mineral Chardonnay from Kimmeridgian limestone in Burgundy's cool north, prized for precision, purity and saline drive.
The world's most versatile white grape, producing everything from steely Chablis to rich, oaked whites. Its neutrality makes it a mirror of terroir and winemaking, and the foundation of white Burgundy and Champagne.
