Fèvre/William Chablis Bougros Côte Bouguerots Grand Cru 2022

93-97 points Jasper Morris, MW (Inside Burgundy): "A glowing pale lemon and lime. Sunny and fresh at the same time, with an extraordinary tension on the nose. Still a wine of discretion, Didier has made wines which completely avoid heaviness while still delivering all that is necessary in concentration and backbone. Sublime persistence. Drink from 2032-2040+. Tasted: June 2023."

96 points Andy Howard, MW (Decanter): "The very steep aspect of Côte Bouguerots is highlighted by a much greater emphasis on minerality than Fevre's Bougros. This is a grand cru is every way - so much drive on the palate with plenty of extract, concentration, salinity and length. Certain to keep very well but this is also surprisingly approachable early on. DIdier Seguier says it's likely to close down after 18-24 months but this is clearly a fine example with masses of potential. Drinking Window: 2026-2036. (10/19/23)"

95+ points William Kelley (Wine Advocate): "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. Drink: 2027-2050. (3/6/25)"

95 points Christy Canterbury, MW (TimAtkin.com): "This is a truly unique wine as its vines sit at the entry to Bougros, surely the best part of this large Grand Cru. It is lively and citrusy with profound mid-palate and real acidic hustle. The vast flavor spectrum includes spiced pear, citrus oil and gentle earthiness. This is always a favorite. (2024)"

93-95 points Neal Martin (Vinous): "The 2022 Chablis Bougros Côte Bouguerots Grand Cru has a clean and precise bouquet with hints of wild peach, apricot blossom, Mirabelle and crushed stone. The palate is well-balanced with a very harmonious entry, blackcurrant leaf and spice, crushed stone and what feels like plenty of extract on the finish. This has great potential, but afford it time in your cellar. Drink: 2026-2048. (Sep 2023)"

94 points/'Don't miss!' Allen Meadows (Burghound): "(from a 2.2 ha parcel at the bottom section of the vineyard; even so, the vineyard is so steep here that it must be worked entirely by hand as tractors would be dangerous to use). This is the coolest and most restrained of this group of 2022s with its elegant aromas of prominent mineral reduction, lemon-lime, spice and oyster shell. There is almost painful intensity to the stony and strikingly well-detailed larger-bodied yet still beautifully refined flavors that display huge length on the impeccably well-balanced finale. Like the Preuses, this is very classy and clearly built to repay extended keeping. Drink: 2034+. (Oct 2024)"
