The 2023 Domaine William Fèvre Chablis Grand Cru Bougros "Côte de Bouguerots" is a powerful yet precise expression of Chardonnay from one of Chablis most distinctive Grand Cru sites. Sourced from steep, south-facing slopes near the Serein River, this parcel is known for producing wines with both intensity and striking minerality, reflecting Kimmeridgian limestone soils. The nose is taut and complex, offering citrus peel, lime and green apple layered with white peach, pear and subtle notes of white flowers, vanilla and chalky minerality.
On the palate, it is medium to full-bodied with a focused, structured texture and a vibrant line of acidity. Flavours of lemon, stone fruit and saline minerality are supported by a dense core and mineral grip, leading to a long, intense and persistent finish. The style is more linear and tension-driven than typical Bougros, combining power with precision and exceptional aging potential.
Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is a standout Grand Cru for customers seeking a more structured, mineral and age-worthy Chablis. It offers both depth and precision, making it ideal for collectors or serious Burgundy enthusiasts. Best from 2028 onwards or cellar for 15–25+ years. Perfect with oysters, lobster, grilled fish or refined seafood dishes.
