“There really is no better place to get a read on Chablis than Fèvre.” – Vinous

Fall just started, but it feels like Christmas!!

Agent Noir’s jaw dropped when he saw what we’ll call, THE LIST.

He had not seen this many Grand Crus in one place since 1999. And Premier Crus. All Chablis, all Fèvre. Gathering his thoughts, and daydreaming, he put together an offer that never in his wildest imagination, they would accept…

But they DID.

And here we are! A Chablis Store Takeover like no other. All Grand and Premier Crus, all day. Or until they sell out. And oh, they will.

Some insider info from earlier this year may help explain this extraordinary opportunity… per Wine Spectator “The owners of Château Latour and Château Lafite Rothschild have made a deal over a Chablis winery… to sell top Chablis producer Domaine William Fèvre to Domaines Barons de Rothschild Lafite for an undisclosed sum.”

A genre-defining New York Times article once pointed out that “Chablis is home to a pair of producers, Raveneau and Dauvissat, who have long been critics’ favorites. Their wines are old-school icons, but unless you have considerable patience you might struggle to understand what the fuss is about, or even to find them. More consistently appealing are the wines of another long-established estate, William Fèvre. This is perhaps the greatest landowner in Chablis, with vines in all 7 of the appellation’s Grand Cru vineyards.”

Let’s talk prices. Take the 2018 vintage we’re showcasing today for example, and our top Grand Cru Valmur at an “surely you’re joking” $95-per-bottle. Raveneau’s 2018 Valmur has long broken the thousand-a-bottle barrier. And Dauvissat’s 2018 Preuses is “such a great value” in the $300s these days. Here is Fèvre’s 97-point version for an eye-popping $85 today. BOOM.

If we closed up shop today - hypothetically speaking that is - it would be appropriate timing, as deals this good are unimaginable be it any other whites, or reds, from anywhere else in the world, seriously. These Grand and Premier Crus are for when only the best will do.

Aah, Valmur… always aromatic, and oh so seductive, while deftly balanced with the telltale tension. It’s the REAL TREAT in the whole bunch, being of the same prized terroir of its slightly more celebrated next-door neighbor Les Clos. Putting this out to you at $95 is a dream come true for us. Wow, just WOW. Gimme a minute while I snag what I can… Okay, I’m back, where were we? Losing my mind here. NOT A JOKE, dear Ops, though it may seem like one.

Grab what you can, while you can.

95 Points – Decanter

“This comes from two south and south-east-facing parcels in the highest part of the Grand Cru and tends to make quite austere wines, even in vintages like 2018. Very much a wine for Chablis purists, it’s taut and very pithy, with impressive focus, bite and palate length and deftly integrated 40% new wood. The dry extract adds extra backbone. Drink 2021-2030.”

95 Points – James Suckling

“What a beautiful white with many fine, intertwined layers of fruit and acidity, delivering such a serious and subtle glass. It’s medium-to full-bodied with creamy texture and a flavorful finish. Really intriguing and thought-provoking. Drink or hold.”
