Tasting notes
Reviewed by: Antonio Galloni
Tasted blind at the Burgundy 2011 horizontal tasting in Beaune. There is good minerality on the nose of the Chablis Grand Cru Bougros Côte Bouguerots – real flinty aromas with smoke and a touch of grilled hazelnut. The palate is well balanced with lemon peel and freshly slice lime on the entry. The acidity is very well judged, very harmonious with a feminine, almost understated finish that is graceful and elegant. This is roaring away at the starting blocks. Excellent.
About the Producer
Domaine William Fèvre is arguably one of Chablis’ greatest domaines. Following Fèvre’s retirement in 1998, the estate was sold to the Henriot family. Since then, head winemaker Didier Séguier, has steered what was then an oaky style of Chablis, to one that was much more terroir driven. The resulting wines are showing amazing purity and concentration, expressing the unique personality and minerality of each vineyard. Domaine William Fèvre owns the largest array of Premier and Grands Crus vineyards in Chablis. The estate has been farmed organically since 2006 with selected parcels farmed biodynamically.
