2023 Domaine Fevre Petit Chablis

A straight-shooting, super-refreshing introduction to the world of Chablis, this Petit Chablis from Nathalie and Gilles Fevre is all about clarity and charm. It’s grown on the higher slopes above Chablis proper, where the Portlandian limestone soils kick out bright, zesty fruit and unmistakable mineral lift.

Fermented in stainless steel and left untouched by oak, this is Chardonnay in its purest, most energetic form. Lemon pith, green apple, and a flicker of sea spray lead the nose, while the palate is tight, crisp, and clean—like biting into a perfectly chilled Granny Smith. It’s feather-light on its feet, with that trademark Chablis salinity wrapping around a dry, chalky finish.

If you’re looking for a midweek white that brings freshness to the table or a seafood wine to rival the classics, this has your name all over it. Best served with shellfish, white fish, or even as an aperitif with a wedge of soft goat’s cheese.
