Simonnet-Febvre Description

The Maison and Domaine of Simonnet-Febvre were founded in 1840 by Jean Febvre, a barrel maker by trade from Montbard. In the early days, the house was known for its sparkling Chardonnays from Chablis, known today as Crémant de Bourgogne. Over the years, the Febvres acquired holdings in some of the greatest terroirs in Chablis. Today, the Domaine comprises approximately 9 acres, crowned by a 2/3-acre plot in the Grand Cru vineyard of Les Preuses, with 3.5 acres of Premier Cru Mont de Milieu and 4.7 acres of communal Chablis vineyards. Maison Louis Latour acquired Simonnet-Febvre in 2003. Since its purchase, the Latours have entirely renovated the winemaking facilities, installing new stainless steel tanks and pneumatic presses. The vineyards have been reworked with the same sustainable vineyard practices utilized in Latour's 125-acre domain in the Côte d'Or. Maison Louis Latour also hired a talented new winemaker, Jean-Philippe Archambaud.

Winemaker Notes

This Saint-Bris has a golden color with light green highlights. Its powerful nose is characterized by aromas of exotic fruits, freshly cut grass and citrus fruits such as grapefruit. This wine has a good structure with an aromatic fruit and vegetable persistence. Produced from vines with an average age of 25 years old and aged in stainless steel tanks for 6-8 months. Best drunk young, as an aperitif or with fruit-based desserts.

Professional Ratings

Fruity white with notes of gooseberries, green apples and grapefruit. Creamy and fresh, with a medium body and easygoing, stony finish. Drink now.
