Domaine William Fèvre Chablis Grand Cru Les Clos 2022
Les Clos is widely regarded as the premier vineyard site in Chablis, occupying a steep, south-facing hillside that yields Chardonnay with exceptional depth and longevity. Domaine William Fèvre owns substantial holdings across these prized slopes, crafting what is consistently the most complete and powerful bottle in their cellar. The winemaking here is carefully measured. Hand-harvested fruit is aged in seasoned, neutral French oak barrels, a traditional technique that builds a round, silky texture while preserving the vineyard’s natural purity and tension. The glass opens with aromas of ripe lemon, peach, and a distinct sea-spray freshness. On the palate, it balances rich, mouth-filling orchard fruit against a long, crisp, flinty finish. While formidable in its youth, it has the structure to age effortlessly for a decade or more, making it an ideal choice for seared scallops, lobster, or roasted poultry.
