Mature Chablis from one of the appellation's most important domaines, drinking beautifully right now. Domaine William Fèvre owns one of the largest and most coveted holdings in Chablis — including Grand Cru parcels that put it in elite company — and has been steered since 1998 by Didier Séguier, who has slowly moved the estate to organic certification (achieved in 2023). Les Vaillons is one of Chablis's most consistent 1er Crus, a south-facing Kimmeridgian limestone slope on the left bank of the Serein opposite the Grand Crus, with vines averaging around fifty years. 2017 was an excellent, classically balanced Chablis vintage — and eight years in, this is in its prime drinking window: flinty, mineral, layered, still energetic, with a couple more years of upside.

Antonio Galloni

94 points

"The 2017 Chablis Vaillons 1er Cru brings together tremendous textural richness with striking layers of floral brightness and minerality that add complexity. Powerful and yet wonderfully finessed, the 2017 possesses superb energy and vibrancy, with pedigree to burn." —Antonio Galloni

Robert Parker

92 points

"The 2017 Chablis 1er Cru Vaillons bursts from the glass with a pretty, aromatic bouquet of citrus blossom, white peach and spring flowers. On the palate, it's medium to full-bodied, ample and expressive, with an open-knit, satiny-textured core, tangy acids and a precise, mouthwatering finish. From bottle, this confirms Didier Séguier's confidence and merits a higher score than I gave it from barrel." —William Kelley

Tasting Notes & Food Pairings

Perfect Pairings

Classic Chablis pairings: oysters and shellfish on ice, sole, scallops, gougeres, roast chicken with lemon and herbs, Comte. Mature Chablis also welcomes richer fare — lobster, crab, even sushi with white fish.

Tasting Profile

Flinty and saline. Lemon curd, white peach, toasted almond and a struck-match minerality unfold over a long, mouthwatering finish. Has shed early reduction and is showing real complexity now — energy intact.
