My Wine Man
This is for someone who wants a genuine, well-made Chablis from the appellation’s finest producer at an accessible price.
Petit Chablis is the entry level of the Chablis appellation — but in the hands of William Fevre, it delivers the clean, mineral, bone-dry freshness that makes Chablis so distinctive and so food-friendly. This is not a compromise — it is a genuinely well-made wine from a great producer.
At HK$219, this is one of the best-value bottles in the store — a wine that delivers the Fevre name, the Chablis character and the 2023 vintage freshness at a very honest price.
In my view, this is the ideal everyday Chablis — versatile, food-friendly and completely reliable.
What makes this wine stand out
This is all about the purity, freshness and mineral precision that only Chablis can deliver.
Lemon, green apple and white pear sit at the core, with a fine chalky mineral thread and the clean, bone-dry finish that is the unmistakable signature of great Chablis. No oak, no butter, no tropical fruit — just pure, precise Chardonnay from one of Burgundy’s coolest appellations.
The defining feature is the freshness — bright natural acidity and mineral tension give the wine shape, drive and a clean, lingering finish that makes it one of the most food-friendly whites in the store.
Pure, precise and completely refreshing.
