Welcome To Bellvale»
Airline pilots make surprisingly good wine. Their appreciation of the sciences, a respect for the weather and a bird's eye view of the land, all invaluable to the winemaker's art. John Ellis would take every opportune weekend away from his regular New York Paris route, to pursue a passion for viticulture. He planted the first commercial Cabernet Merlot vines in the Hamptons and found time between trans atlantic flights to work vintages amongst the Grand Cru vineyards of La Bourgogne. Ellis ultimately made the great lifelong sea change in favour of our land downunder. He settled on a farmstead outside Leongatha, amongst the slow ripening pastures of Gippsland and established a vineyard called Bellvale. It is now a place of fully mature vines and old world Burgundian techniques, sur lie et sauvage, barrel ferments and batonnage. Bellvale remains artisanally small batch, just 23 hectares of vine yields a measured harvest of spectacular quality Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, la saveur de la France from the top pick of Gippsland..

William Fevre Montmains 1er Cru CONFIRM VINTAGE

Chardonnay Chablis France
Montmain lies to the south of the greater Chablis region, one of the larger and more salubrious vineyards, at a hundred hectares on the left bank of the Serein. Many of the more prestigious negociants have significant holdings, Domaine William Fevre retains less than two hectares. Planted to a unique terroir of very stony kimmeridgian soils, clay, chalk and fossilised oyster shells, the vines at Montmains yield an evocative wine of pronounced mineral aromas, extraordinary power, ageing potential and finesse.
Available in cases of 6
Case of 6
$929.50
Straw golden hues. An intense mineral nose, savoury stonefruit characters, autumn weed, mealyness and white floral. An expansive palate of concentration and weight, an effusive, lively wine of sound structure, crispness and piercing mineral character, its freshness and splendid length resolving on a lingering saline finish. Match to firm fleshed fishes and white game terrine.

William Fevre
A family that has been in the Chablis region for more than 250 years, William Fevre's father was already a great winemaker

His son William founded the Domaine de la Maladiare and announced his first harvest in 1959. For many years, William Fevre (who to this day enjoys a very good reputation as a defender of historically renowned terroirs), has worked each plot keenly and skilfully so as to make wine whose personality reflects the authenticity of the soils from which they spring.

William Fevre

In 1998, the venerable Henriot family from Champagne succeeded him. To continue these focused efforts, the Domaine was taken up with the constant desire to make indisputably genuine and fine wines, and above all with bringing along a very personal expertise in Chardonnay. All the efforts have but one goal, to finely express the most subtle variations in the greatest Chablis crus.
