2021 Domaine William Fevre Beauroy Chablis Premier Cru
Domaine William Fevre Beauroy Chablis Premier Cru 2021 is a benchmark Premier Cru Chablis from the most celebrated and respected estate in the appellation — precise, mineral and built with the extraordinary depth, tension and Kimmeridgian character that only a great Chablis Premier Cru site can deliver.
Beauroy is one of Chablis’ most respected left-bank Premier Cru sites — a south-facing slope with deep Kimmeridgian limestone soils that produce Chablis of genuine depth, mineral complexity and ageing potential. In the hands of William Fevre, the benchmark producer of the appellation, Beauroy delivers one of the finest expressions of Premier Cru Chablis available.
My Wine Man
This is for someone who wants a serious, age-worthy Premier Cru Chablis from the appellation’s finest producer.
William Fevre is the reference point for Chablis — the estate that defines the appellation’s standards and sets the benchmark against which all other Chablis is measured. Their Premier Cru wines are the finest expressions of individual Chablis terroir available, crafted with the precision and restraint that only a great producer can achieve.
At HK$388, this is exceptional value for a Premier Cru Chablis of this quality and provenance — a wine that will reward patience and cellar beautifully for another 5–10 years.
In my view, this is one of the finest Premier Cru Chablis available — precise, complex and very complete.
What makes this wine stand out
This is all about Beauroy terroir and William Fevre’s mastery of Premier Cru Chablis.
Lemon, white peach, green apple and oyster shell sit at the core, with a deep Kimmeridgian mineral thread, subtle floral notes and the characteristic steely precision that defines great Premier Cru Chablis. The palate is medium to full-bodied with extraordinary tension and a long, mineral, lingering finish.
The defining feature is the depth — this is Chablis with genuine terroir expression, where the Beauroy limestone soils speak directly through the wine with a complexity and persistence that village and Petit Chablis simply cannot match.
Precise, mineral and completely compelling.
