Champs Royaux Chablis Impresses with it’s Precision

We have two extraordinary white wines for you today that are perfect for the upcoming Spring and Summer season's.

We start with the highly respected William Fevre Champs Royaux Chablis 2011. Always a great wine and a Best Seller. This is vinified and aged with the same care as their Premier Crus and Grand Crus wines. 100% Chardonnay and just a great wine for any occasion. Take a look at what Robert Parker said about this wine.

Robert Parker "Fevre’s 2011 Chablis Champs Royaux (maison) impresses for its precision and linearity. There is plenty of nuance here in a style that also expresses some of the richness of the vintage. Crushed rocks, white flowers and citrus are layered into the vibrant finish. The 2011 Champs Royaux is equal parts estate and purchased fruit, mostly from left bank sites."

William Fevre
William Fevre, the son of an accomplished winemaker, founded Domaine de la Maladiere and bottled his first wines after the 1959 harvest. Over a forty year span, Domaine de la Maladiere slowly grew into the largest owner of grand cru vineyards in the region and it enjoyed an excellent reputation. William was also a dominant personality. When the local political establishment wanted to increase the region’s vineyard area to include sites that that did not possess the important Kimmeridgian soil, William stood out as one of the fiercest and loudest opponents to the expansion. The wines from these new areas, he argued, would not have the classic aromas and flavors that were characteristic of Chablis. Fevre lost the battle, but by voicing his opinion he had become one of the leading figures in the region. In 1998, Fevre sold his estate to the Henriot family of Champagne, who in an odd twist, changed the name to Domaine William Fevre. Henriot had also recently purchased the Beaune negociant Bouchard Pere et Fils and had been responsible for a renaissance at that estate. Several changes were immediately made at Fevre by the Henriot team and the quality of the wines improved. The domaine is now recognized as one of, if not the top, producers in Chablis.

William Fevre Champs Royaux Chablis 2011
The William Fevre Champs Royaux Chablis is vinified and aged with the same care as the Premier Crus and Grand Crus. Champ Royaux Chablis (100% Chardonnay) has a very fresh bouquet with notes of citrus and whitefleshed fruit, with a very slightly oaky finish. Fresh and supple, the wine is marked by mineral notes that are typical of the appellation.
