Starting with just 7 hectares in 1959, William Fèvre has become one of the largest landholders in Chablis, with close to 80 hectares under vine, of which nearly half are 1er and grand cru sites. It was acquired by the Champagne House Henriot in 1998, and Didier Séguier installed as director. Early on he converted to organic viticulture, and has now applied for official certification, to be granted in 2023. The 1er and grand crus, on other hand, have been biodynamically farmed since 2010. He has mastered the most difficult challenge of a large estate: how to produce wine in quantity and keep quality high. His wines are transparent and pure, each vineyard clearly recognisable.
Fortune smiled on Chablis in 2019. Extensive use of frost countermeasures in April avoided any damage, and yields are down more due to the lack of water. The wines are great: many growers believe that Kimmeridgian soils preserve freshness, but whatever the reason, they are perfectly poised, with density, juicy fresh fruit and an expressive minerality.
In Didier Séguier’s opinion ‘2019 has something for everyone. It is ripe, attractive and approachable young, but it also has precision and will reward cellaring.’
