95 Points, Charles Curtis MW, Decanter
The Vaulorent from Fèvre is more mineral than its Montée de Tonnerre, if a bit less lush, with aromas of lime peel, mirabelle plum, and passion fruit. The texture is chiselled and concentrated, with layers of tightly wound extract and a dense, chalky finish. The grapes are from 3.6ha in Vaulorent, which is part of Fourchaume but located on the side of the grands crus. Winemaker Didier Séguier chooses his favourite blocks for this bottling and crafts a 'classic' Fourchaume from the rest. Fermentation is done in older casks for 40-50% of the grapes.
94+ Points, Kristaps Karklins, The Wine Advocate
Sourced from the upper part of the climat and planted with 40- to 60-year-old vines, the 2023 Chablis 1er Cru Vaulorent wafts from the glass with a deep bouquet of lemon oil, white flowers, orange peel, peach, pear and a delicate reductive signature. Medium- to full-bodied, concentrated and layered, it is framed by ample, chalky structuring extract and racy acidity, concluding with a persistent, saline finish. This is a terrific performer once again.

One of the greatest domaines in Chablis. 
Founded by William Fèvre in 1957, its vineyard holdings include 16 hectares of Premier Cru and 15 hectares of Grand Cru vines. The Domaine has been committed to a strong environmental approach for more than twenty years. HEV3 certified since 2014, the majority of the vines are managed according to biodynamic principles. With a human commitment to the way the soil is treated and respect for biodiversity, Domaine William Fèvre does everything possible to express the most subtle variations in Chablis’ Climats. 

From the Petit Chablis to the domaine’s six Grand Cru wines, the quality is superb and the range from Domaine William Fèvre is a benchmark for the wines of the region.
