Montee de Tonnerre is widely considered the greatest 1er Cru in Chablis, the cru closest in spirit (and in proximity) to the Grand Crus on the right bank of the Serein. Domaine William Fevre, founded in 1959, holds some of the most enviable parcels in the appellation and farms them with characteristic precision. The 2023 was raised gently, with gravity-fed vinification, fermented in stainless, and aged 19 months total with about a third briefly in older French oak for texture. The result captures the sunny generosity of the vintage with classic Chablis tension: beeswax, pear, orange peel, fennel, and a long, salty, oyster-shell finish.
