En Primeur | William Fèvre
William Fèvre is one of the great names of Chablis, however, in comparison to many estates in the region, William himself was a relative newcomer, producing his first crop in 1959. The Domaine rapidly acquired substantial holdings in the town of Chablis, expanding to a substantial 78 hectares under the ownership of Joseph Henriot to include 16 hectares of Premiers Crus and 15 hectares of Grands Crus. In the summer of 2023 it was announced that the Domaine is entering a very exciting new chapter following its purchase by Domaines Baron de Rothschild Lafite, led by Saskia de Rothschild, a move described by Burghound as: "a stroke of genius... No other domaine comes even remotely close to matching what Fèvre owns and all of it in the original heart of the appellation – it’s literally the best of the best, or perhaps the phrase crème de la crème is more appropriate".
