This collector started his cellar during University in his early 20's while working retail for an Ontario winery. Initially he was drawn to the wines of Italy, but over time began to focus on French wines, especially Burgundy. He has always had a great appreciation for white wine, particularly for the wines of Chablis, Loire, Austria and Germany. Generally he purchased wines from the LCBO and directly from agents (keeping track of all invoices and probably have digital or paper copies for everything).The wines were stored at home, in temperature controlled, specially built wine cellars.
The rating for 2004 Domaine William Fevre Valmur Chablis Grand Cru is 94+ points from Robert Parker and the tasting note - Sage leaves, rosemary, quartz, and iodine are found in the nose of the 2004 Chablis Valmur (domaine). A wine of awe-inspiring precision as well as depth, it coats the palate with sea shells, minerals, fresh herbs, and liquefied rocks. Though I freely admit to having a special fondness for the Valmur vineyard, this wine hits the taster deep in the soul.
Note - All the William Fevre wines tasted for this report are “domaine” bottlings, from the estate’s 40 hectares of vines (98.84 acres), which is clearly marked on the label. There are also Maison William Fevre – negociant – bottlings, none of which were tasted. The rapidity with which Joseph Henriot turned around this once moribund estate is remarkable. Under the supervision and winemaking of super-talented Didier Seguier (from Cucq-Les-Vielmur in France’s southwest, near Castres), Domaine William Fevre has been catapulted into the top echelon of Chablis’s producers (and if you don’t believe me, just ask Vincent Dauvissat or Bernard Raveneau).
