Wine Description
William Fevre Chablis Champs Royaux 2020 is an elegant and classic Chablis crafted from 100% Chardonnay grapes sourced from Kimmeridgian subsoil. The subsoil of Chablis is rich in minerals and fossils, imparting a distinct mineral character to the wine. The soils also create the ideal environment for growing Chablis grapes, with its chalky clay and marly limestone that imbue the wine with freshness and personality.
This wine showcases a very fresh nose, with zesty notes of citrus and white-fleshed fruit and subtle oak influence. On the palate, the wine reveals its minerality, with a savory mix of flint and almond and a saline finish. It is balanced and bright in the mouth, with good acidity and a juicy texture.
The wine is created by winemaker Didier Seguier, who combines traditional methods such as manual harvesting and gravity-led winemaking, with modern practices such as the use of stainless steel vats as well as the barrel fermentation of 5% of the harvest. Mild climatic conditions and long winter and spring temperatures allow the wine to develop the perfect aromatic intensity, and the cool summer nights and morning dew preserve its freshness and delicate aromatics.
William Fevre Chablis Champs Royaux 2020 is a beautiful and classic wine that pairs well with light seafood dishes or oysters. It is best served at a temperature between 12°C to 14°C.

Caleb Reitz –
Vintage Wines Ltd.’s Winebar offers a flinty, mineral taste with hints of apple and a slight yeastiness. It has a medium-full body and a tangy/sweet finish with a hint of bitterness. It’s a great value and should be aged for 6 months.

Willie Reese –
Typical with pale jade color and noticeable salinity. Becomes more enveloping and almost oily in 2020 vintage. (**1/2+)
DEC –
From purchased grapes, Champs Royaux is an historic mark created in the past by William Fèvre. 5% is fermented in old wood from Bouchard, with the rest in steel. Lovely notes of confit lemon here, very good acidity and minerality. A complex, saline, age-worthy Chablis which will go beautifully with food.
VIN –
The 2020 Chablis Champs Royaux, 8% aged in used barrels for six months, has a charming nose of yellow plum and orchard fruit. The palate is zesty on the entry with fine acidity, a touch of almond and good salinity on the finish. Not long in the mouth, but there is plenty of freshness here.
BUR –
A slightly riper nose also reflects good Chablis typicity with a bit more iodine character that continues onto the precise and delicious if not especially complex medium weight flavors that deliver a bit more weight and length on the balanced and firmer finish.
