DOMAINE NATHALIE ET GILLES FÈVRE
Gilles and Nathalie Fèvre met at university where they both qualified as oenologists. Gilles is in charge of viticulture and Nathalie oversees vinification.
Gilles’ great grandfather began growing grapes and making wine in and around the village of Fontenay-Près-Chablis over a hundred years ago. They have now been joined by their daughter Julie – a qualified agricultural engineer and oenologue.
This is a wonderful 50-hectare domaine, all planted on Kimmeridgian limestone – 33 hectares of which are village Chablis.
The Vieilles Vignes comes from a 7-hectare plot in Fontenay-pres-Chablis, all on Kimmeridgian soils, planted in the 1950s and 1960s.
Vinification for 18 months in stainless steel tanks, with 10% older oak.
The 1er Cru Fourchaume is vinified in stainless steel tanks, as is 1er Cru
Mont de Milieu – which also sees a touch of older oak barrels. They are
absolutely delicious, mouth-watering, benchmark examples of pure, incisive, concentrated wines. The gems of the domaine are the 2-hectare
plot of 1er Cru Vaulorent (50-year-old vines), at the southern tip of Fourchaume, which is 15% barrel fermented and borders Grand Cru Les
Preuses a magnificent 2.5 hectare holding of 55-year-old vines, 70% vinified in stainless steel tanks and 30% in oak barrels.
These are exceptional wines from a top quality domaine of increasingly great repute.
