Direct from the estate
94/100 James Suckling
Tasted by J.S in 2019: - ‘Very attractive aromas of ripe white and yellow peaches with a slightly bright edge and lightly toasted, flinty nuances. There is such richness and balance on the palate, with a fleshy, smooth construction; right through to the long finish bursting with lemon and peach. A lively wine. Drink it or keep it.
When to drink this wine : From 2019 to 2035 (JS estimate)

Part of the Henriot Champagne group, this house has quickly succeeded in becoming one of the great names in the appellation. Domaine William Fèvre offers this Chablis Premier Cru Vaillons, a 100% Chardonnay white wine from vineyards with hard, compact, fissured Portlandian limestone soils. This refined vintage, both round and full-bodied on the palate, is aged for 12 to 14 months and goes perfectly with a pan-fried scampi with citrus fruit.
