William Fèvre 2005 Les Clos Grand Cru Chardonnay (Chablis)
- Cellar Selection
- $95
Big and powerful, this is the grandest of the grand crus. It has both a dense structure and overwhelming fruits. With minerality, spice and balance, this is a very complete wine. There is only a hint of the richness to come. Hold for 10 years at least.

William Fèvre 2005 Valmur Grand Cru Chardonnay (Chablis)
- Cellar Selection
- $85
This is the epitome of great Chablis, with minerality, initial austerity and coiled power. It is a dense, tense wine, structured with both toasty tannins and green fruits that shine out of all this concentration. Age for 7–10 years.

William Fèvre 2007 Les Clos Grand Cru Chardonnay (Chablis)
- Cellar Selection
- $110
From the largest of the Chablis Grand Cru, this wine shows a lively fruit character but also a powerful, taut mineral streak that comes through to dominate. There is no doubt this needs aging, with its steely edge and vivid acidity.

William Fèvre 2008 Valmur Grand Cru Chardonnay (Chablis)
- Cellar Selection
- Online Exclusive
- $83
A great waft of ripe fruits, wood spice and tense acidity. A Valmur is a model for great Chablis, a taut wine, like a spring of green fruits waiting to burst out. This impressive wine needs aging, give it at least five years.

William Fèvre 2005 Bougros Bouguerots Grand Cru Chardonnay (Chablis)
- Cellar Selection
- $86
Using the old name for Bougros, this is from the steepest portion of the Bougros vineyard. The pure chalk soil gives it pronounced minerality, and it shows firm structure, with green apples, toast and a very firm, tight character. This wine definitely needs to age; give it 5–8 years.

William Fèvre 2005 Les Preuses Grand Cru Chardonnay (Chablis)
- $85
Often seen as the easiest of the grand crus because of its richness, this shows more power due to the vintage. There is some tightness to the ripe structure, with white currant, pear skin and spice flavors. Finishes with sweet acidity.

William Fèvre 2006 Bougros Côte Bouguerots Grand Cru Chardonnay (Chablis)
- $80
A beautiful wine, a pure expression of ripe but steely Chardonnay. The wine floats onto the palate, with green plums and citrus leading. Then come toast, a mouthwatering acidity and a mineral structure. This wine’s complexity just continues to impress.

William Fèvre 2006 Les Clos Grand Cru Chardonnay (Chablis)
- $90
What makes a great Chablis grand cru? It’s the intensity of flavor, which can be found in this wine. Its green and white fruits are layered with wood spice and an ineffable crispness that allows the wine to show the purity of Chardonnay and the great terroir at the same time.
