William Fèvre is one of Chablis’ greatest estates, created by William Fèvre between 1957 and his retirement in 1998, when he sold the domaine to Champagne House. Joseph Henriot. Beginning with just 7 hectares and growing gradually to 48 hectares, planting in the best of the Premier and Grand Cru sites where the vineyards had fallen into disrepair. The talented Didier Séguier came in as Head Winemaker from Bouchard Pere et Fils in Beaune. The domaine wines include 12 hectares of Premier Cru vineyards and a staggering 16 hectares of Grand Cru.The whole crop of their domaine wines, straight Chablis included, is harvested by hand, the grands crus in small ‘cagettes’, with a sorting table back at the winery to ensure the quality of the raw material. In 2023, the domaine was purchased by Domaines Baron de Rothschild (Lafite), led by Saskia de Rothschild.
