2022 Domaine Fevre Petit Chablis Nathalie & Gilles, Burgundy

The 2022 Domaine Fèvre Petit Chablis from Nathalie & Gilles Fèvre is a fresh and vibrant white that captures the youthful energy of Chardonnay grown on the higher slopes of Chablis. The Fèvre family are long-established in the region, and Nathalie and Gilles have earned a reputation for producing wines of precision and authenticity, farming sustainably and with a deep respect for terroir.

Petit Chablis vineyards sit above the main Chablis slopes, where Portlandian limestone soils and cooler exposures give wines their bright, floral and citrus-driven character. The 2022 vintage in Chablis was generous, with healthy ripeness and balanced acidity, resulting in wines that are expressive yet approachable from a young age. Fermentation and maturation for this wine take place in stainless steel, preserving freshness, purity and mineral clarity.

In the glass it is pale straw with green reflections. The bouquet is lifted and delicate, showing lemon zest, green apple and pear alongside acacia blossom, chalk and a subtle saline edge. On the palate it is crisp and energetic, with orchard fruits and citrus wrapped around a fine mineral backbone. The finish is clean, mouthwatering and refreshing, true to the Petit Chablis style.

Food pairings highlight its lightness and vivacity: oysters, prawns with lemon, sushi and sashimi, or vegetarian dishes like zucchini fritters, goat’s cheese salad or asparagus with olive oil. Best enjoyed in its youth within 2 to 4 years, it offers a pure, zesty expression of Chablis with a touch of floral charm.
