Fèvre/William Chablis Bougros Grand Cru 2019

95 points La Revue du Vin de France: "Aromatic finesse, nose of bergamot in Bougros, with the transparency of delicate flavors but already very accessible and refined. (2022)"

94 points Jasper Morris, MW (Inside Burgundy): "This is not the legendary Côte de Bouguerots bottling, but the regular Bougros – which still stood out alongside its peers. The fruit shows grand cru weight and the sunshine quality of the vintage, juicy but well balanced, while the crystalline purity of the finish sets this wine apart. (Mar 2022)"

94 points James Suckling: "Aromas of aniseed and lemon rind with dried apple and pear follow through to a full body. Yet, it’s tight and layered with a compact palate and plenty of fruit. Needs time to open. Try after 2023. (6/15/21)"

92-94 points/'Sweet spot,' Allen Meadows (Burghound): "(from an incredible <6 ha parcel). A ripe and beautifully layered nose consists of notes of green fruit, citrus, iodine and mineral reduction. The powerful, rich and voluminous big-bodied flavors possess fine mid-palate density that coats the palate with sap before concluding in an austere, long and vaguely rustic finale. This is an imposing Bougros that should age effortlessly over the next decade plus. Drink: 2029+. (Nov 2020)"

93+ points William Kelley (Wine Advocate): "Aromas of crisp green orchard fruit, clear honey, peach, mint and buttery pastry introduce the 2019 Chablis Grand Cru Bougros, a full-bodied, ample and enveloping wine that's one of the more textural, dramatic wines in the range. Unusually deep and concentrated, its immediate, charming profile belies considerable aging potential this year. Drink: 2025-2050. (Aug 2021)"

Bill Nanson (Burgundy Report): "“The improvement here is a big satisfaction – it’s a completely different wine to 20 years ago. It’s a generous terroir with some deep soils and plenty of yield. Organic since 2006 and we’ve worked hard to limit the yield and there’s now a balance here that we didn’t have before. There are no well-known producers here so historically it hasn’t had a high regard in general, but we can see now that it’s not an accidental grand cru – I’m very happy.” Biodynamic practice in GCs since 2010. On the plateau part. Another wine that’s attractively floral more than suggesting an extra aromatic depth. Some gas – much more width, similar energy to the Vaulorent. Calming slightly in the middle, wide and comfortable finish. I lake these two shades at play that’s a great wine – excellent grand cru – the finish returns and hangs around much longer than you or I would expect. (Feb 2021)"
