Domaine William Fèvre’s *Chablis 1er Cru Vaillons 2024* is a quintessential estate-bottled white Burgundy sourced from 5.15 hectares of sunny, south-southeast-facing Kimmeridgian slopes on the left bank of the Serein River, where shallow soils and sub-parcels like Sécher and Les Lys impart both sunny generosity and signature chalky tension. Pours a shimmering, pale lemon-straw with bright silver-green highlights in the glass, it opens with a fragrant and expressive bouquet of white nectarine, lemon zest, and white flowers, tightly interwoven with notes of crushed chalk, wet stone, and a subtle hint of marine salt spray. Medium-bodied, supple, and beautifully focused on the palate at 13% ABV, it delivers a vibrant core of crunchy green apple, citrus curd, and fresh pear, underpinned by a precise, linear acidity and an energetic, saline minerality that drives across the palate. It culminates in a long, crisp, and mouthwatering finish that leaves an enduring impression of lime peel, crushed limestone, and refined, left-bank Chablis elegance.
