Burghound, October 2008
Here too there is a very subtle influence of wood that frames ripe yet elegant and impressively pure aromas of citrus, spice hints, tidal pool and oyster shell notes, all of which are picked up by the highly complex and deep big-bodied flavors that are incredibly intense and quite unusually for Bougros, possess 'hot knife through butter' cut and delineation. An atypically elegant effort for the appellation. (Don't miss!)

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, December 2009
Sweet lime, buddleia, lily, and hints of the ocean scent Fevre's 2007 Chablis Bougros. On a creamy, dense palate, this gushes with liquid floral perfume, citrus, and an uncanny (more Preuses-typical) concentration of shrimp shell reduction and scallop whose sweet, saline, subtly iodine-bitter savor carries into a long, luscious yet lively conclusion. It took a while, relates Didier Seguier, to tame the inherent vigor of these deep, moisture-retentive soils, but tough love has - as this wine demonstrates - permitted the retention of infectiously ripe acidity and finesse to accompany Bougros largesse. Plan to follow this for a decade.-David Schildknecht
