Domaine Nathalie et Gilles Fèvre represents a remarkable continuation of a winemaking legacy in Chablis that traces its origins back to 1745. Formed by Gilles Fèvre, a trained oenologist who managed the family’s vineyard holdings, and his wife Nathalie, who served for years as head winemaker for a major Chablis producer, the domaine combines generations of viticultural knowledge with precision modern winemaking. Today, joined by their daughter Julie, the family organically farms roughly 50 hectares of prime vineyards situated on the renowned Kimmeridgian limestone slopes of Fontenay-près-Chablis.
What makes this village-level Chablis so captivating is its purity and authentic expression of terroir. Raised entirely in stainless steel to preserve pristine fruit character and razor-sharp minerality, it encapsulates everything pure Chardonnay lovers seek: vibrant citrus, oyster-shell salinity, crisp stone-fruit purity, and an energized, limestone-driven tension. It delivers the refined texture and drive of a top-tier producer without heavy oak influence, standing out as a textbook benchmark for classic French white Burgundy.
Vintage Character
The 2023 growing season in Chablis was characterized by a warm, humid summer punctuated by timely rainfall, yielding a generous harvest of beautifully ripe, plump Chardonnay grapes. Thanks to careful harvest timing and organic vineyard management, the Fèvre family captured exceptional freshness alongside delicious yellow fruit concentration and supple mid-palate weight. The 2023 vintage stands out for its accessible, succulent charm, harmonious balance, and immediate drinking pleasure while maintaining signature Burgundian minerality.
