Description
Tasting notes
Reviewed by: William Kelley
The 2022 Chablis Grand Cru Bougros Côte Bouguerots derives from the steeply sloping part of Bougros, subject to the cooling influence the Serein, and it's always radically removed from the rather round, opulent stereotype that frequently applies to the rest of the cru. Offering up aromas of citrus zest, crisp green orchard fruit and oyster shell, it's medium to full-bodied, taut and racy, with terrific structuring dry extract and cut.

The 2022 Chablis Bougros Côte Bouguerots Grand Cru offers scents of citrus fruit, sea spray and light fennel that gain intensity in the glass. The palate is tangy on the entry, with fine texture and orange rind and grapefruit notes to the fore. It does not quite have the tension or complexity of its peers, though it is a very decent Grand Cru that should age well for 15 to 20 years. Bottled under Diam 10. Tasted blind at the annual Burgfest tasting.
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.
