Premier Cru Chablis from the house we think of as the benchmark for the classic, mineral-driven style, in a 2019 that has now had several years in bottle to come together. Vaillons was one of the first vineyards on the left bank of the Serein to be promoted to Premier Cru. William Fèvre farms organically, keeps yields low and uses no new oak. If you want to know what Premier Cru Chablis is about without waiting on (or paying up for) a Grand Cru, this is a smart place to start.

Burghound

"A slightly riper and quite dense nose features notes of white pepper, quinine, mineral reduction and a combination of orchard fruit compote scents. There is excellent volume to the sappy and powerful flavors that, somewhat surprisingly, flirt with rusticity on the noticeably warm bitter lemon-inflected finish. Like the Beauroy, this is not a Vaillons of finesse, but it certainly cannot be faulted for a lack of frank character."

"The 2019 Chablis 1er Cru Vaillons mingles aromas of crisp yellow orchard fruit and white peach with hints of beeswax and white flowers. Medium to full-bodied, enveloping but incisive, with tangy acids and fine depth at the core, it's long and saline." —William Kelley

"Even though this has no more oak influence than the other Fèvre premiers crus, it smells more spicy in a stony/smoky, perhaps slightly reductive, way. Tight, zesty citrus on the palate. Intense, with no loss of freshness. Mouth-wateringly moreish." —Julia Harding MW

More about William Fevre

If there's a Mount Rushmore of Chablis producers, William Fèvre is firmly carved into it—just a notch below the legendary Raveneau and Dauvissat. The key difference? You can actually buy Fèvre’s wines. And drink them. And afford them.

That accessibility hasn’t come at the expense of quality. In fact, Fèvre remains the benchmark for classic, mineral-driven Chablis, made with organic farming, low yields, and a light hand in the cellar. The wines are precise and textural, with just enough flesh to balance their stony, saline core. There’s no new oak. No distracting tricks. Just terroir and tension.

Tasting Notes & Food Pairings

Perfect Pairings

Raw oysters or clams on the half shell; sole meunière; roast chicken with tarragon cream; gougères; seared scallops with brown butter; a wedge of aged Comté.

Tasting Profile

Expect the classic Premier Cru Chablis profile: lemon, green apple and white peach over a chalky, oyster-shell minerality, with no new oak to mask the fruit. Vaillons is typically a little rounder and more generous than leaner Chablis, but the body stays medium and the acidity crisp, finishing dry, saline and long.
