Medium-bodied with bright acidity and a chalky mineral line running to the finish. Chardonnay 100%.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eThe producer\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eWilliam Fèvre came from a long line of Chablis growers and bought the estate that carries the name in 1959, then set about buying back Premier and Grand Cru parcels that had fallen out of fashion; the domaine now belongs to the Domaines Barons de Rothschild Lafite family business, with Didier Séguier as director. The vines sit on Kimmeridgian subsoil along the Serein, marl and clayey limestone thick with fossilised oyster shells, and fruit for this cuvée comes from partner growers held to the estate's own standards. The wine was moved by gravity rather than pumps, pressed pneumatically for 90 minutes to two hours, racked lightly so enough lees remained for both fermentations, then matured 10 to 12 months in stainless steel. 2024 was hard-won: April frosts, a heavy May hailstorm on the left bank and mildew pressure, rescued by a warmer, drier August and a mild September, with picking from 20 September.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFood and drinking\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eServe at 10-12°C.
