The Wine

Montée de Tonnerre is one of the most highly regarded Premier Cru vineyards in Chablis, often considered to rival Grand Cru sites due to its optimal exposure and classic Kimmeridgian soils.

The 2020 vintage delivered excellent ripeness alongside vibrant acidity, producing wines that combine generosity with precision. Domaine William Fèvre’s careful approach ensures a wine of purity, minerality, and balance—showcasing both the richness of the vintage and the hallmark tension of Chablis.

Tasting Notes

Nose: Aromas of lemon zest, green apple, and white peach layered with flint, oyster shell, and delicate floral notes.
