🌟 A commanding yet elegant expression of Chablis Grand Cru—mineral-driven, finely oaked, and bursting with precision and purity.
👁 In the Glass:
Pale gold with green reflections—luminous and poised.
👃 On the Nose:
Refined and complex, with aromas of citrus zest, white flowers, and crushed oyster shell. Subtle notes of vanilla, toasted almond, and flint from oak ageing and terroir integration add further intrigue.
👅 On the Palate:
Crisp and focused, with a vivid backbone of acidity framing layers of lemon curd, green apple, and chalky minerality. Hints of brioche and spice from oak provide roundness and depth without overshadowing the wine’s crystalline purity. The finish is long, fresh, and saline—classic Grand Cru Chablis.
🍽 Food Pairing:
A perfect match for lobster, Dover sole, scallops in beurre blanc, or creamy poultry dishes. Its precision and depth also make it ideal with aged Comté or fine goat cheese.
⏳ Ageing Potential:
Remarkable now for its tension and vibrancy, but built to evolve over 10–15 years, gaining layers of honeyed richness and savoury complexity.
✨ Why You’ll Love It:
William Fèvre’s Bougros Grand Cru is Chablis at its most refined—pure, mineral, and sculpted with precision. From one of the region’s most historic producers and a vineyard known for power and poise, this is a white Burgundy that delivers both grand elegance and terroir-driven intensity in every sip.
