William Fevre Chablis Bougros Cote Bouguerots Grand Cru 2021

Produced from the prestigious Cote Bouguerots parcel within the Bougros Grand Cru vineyard, this Chardonnay reveals concentrated citrus, white peach and oyster shell notes layered over striking minerality. Rich, powerful and impeccably balanced, it finishes with exceptional length, freshness and Grand Cru precision.

Food Pairing: Pairs best with lobster, langoustines, Dover sole, turbot, roasted poultry and creamy aged cheeses.

95 Points – Decanter

The Cote de Bouguerots is a 2.1ha part of the Bougros climat, with some distinctive characteristics. On very steep slopes (up to 30%) the clay/gravel soils are low-yielding and lead to intense, ageworthy wines. Much more mineral in terms of both perfume and texture on the palate, citrus fruit is more to the fore here with plenty of acidity suggesting the wine needs several years in bottle before opening. Great precision and laser-like focus. A very fine Grand Cru.

94 Points – Jasper Morris

Not racked. Slightly younger vines than the regular Bougros but the site is so different, on the steepest of slopes dropping down to the road. Intensity more than detail on the nose, then the usual piercing volume of fresh white fruit on the palate, a little touch of liquorice, quite good length. Drink from 2027-2034.

94 Points – Robert Parker's Wine Advocate

The 2021 Chablis Grand Cru Bougros Cote Bouguerots is superb, unwinding in the glass with aromas of orange zest, white flowers, fresh mint, buttery pastry and clam liquor, followed by a medium to full-bodied, deep and satiny palate with a sweet core of fruit, a bright spine of tangy acidity and a long, orange oil-inflected finish.

94 Points – Wine Spectator

A linear style, this white displays apple, green plum, lemon and stone aromas and flavors. Broadens out slightly midpalate, before leaving an aftertaste of mineral and stone on the firm, dry and chalky finish.
