jamessuckling.com, August 2020

Sweet apples and pears with some stone and flint on the nose. Full-bodied with tight, focused phenolics that frame the wine nicely and then layers of fruit and lively acidity. Nicely crafted and composed. Drinkable now...

Wine Enthusiast, December 2020

Cooling, mossy chalkiness plays on this wine's nose, despite the heat of 2018. The palate then displays juicy roundness in the form of ripe, yellow pear pervading chalky depth. Rich lemon-peel notes create contour and add...

View From The Cellar, November 2019

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, July 2020

Wine Spectator, December 2020

Peach, apple and lanolin aromas and flavors are the hallmarks of this white. Vivid and mouthwatering, it leaves a chalky feel on the finish. Best from 2021 through 2028. – BS

The 2018 Domaine William Fevre Chablis Bougros Grand Cru is a remarkable white wine that captures the essence of the renowned Chablis region in Burgundy, France. This wine, made exclusively from the Chardonnay varietal, displays the expertise and dedication of Domaine William Fevre in crafting exceptional wines.

In the glass, this wine exhibits a beautiful pale yellow color, reminiscent of golden sunlight on a crisp morning. The aromatics are sophisticated and captivating, with notes of apple, pear, and tangerine intertwining with the distinct Kimmeridgian chalkiness that is characteristic of Chablis wines. Delicate hints of white flowers and a subtle upper register smokiness add complexity and intrigue to the bouquet.

On the palate, the 2018 Bougros reveals its true depth and character. It is full-bodied, with a rock-solid core and a remarkable mineral intensity that surpasses the nose's suggestions. The wine showcases great cut and grip, creating a harmonious balance of flavors and textures. The finish is remarkably long, complete, and promising, leaving a lasting impression that speaks to the superb quality of this juice.

Renowned wine critic John Gilman awarded this wine an outstanding score of 94, praising its sophisticated aromatics, deep palate, and mineral-driven character. Other critics, such as Burghound, James Suckling, and Vinous, also lauded this wine for its volume, power, and excellent balance.

With an alcohol content of 13.5%, this white wine is structured and has the potential to age gracefully. While it is already enjoyable now, James Suckling suggests that it will reach its peak in 2022. It is recommended to decant this wine before serving to fully appreciate its complex layers and lively acidity.

The 2018 Domaine William Fevre Chablis Bougros Grand Cru is a wine that showcases the true essence of Chablis, Burgundy. Its exceptional quality and craftsmanship make it a must-try for any wine enthusiast seeking a memorable and exquisite white wine experience.
