Jasper Morris Inside Burgundy, June 2022

(91-94 points) From old vines of around 60-65 years on average. Fresh pale colour with a light green tint. Clear pale colour, slightly smoky, good volume of fruit, the smoke coming out in the mouth as reduction on the...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, September 2023

The 2021 Chablis Grand Cru Bougros is one of the richer, more gourmand wines in the range, revealing aromas of peach, orange, white flowers and freshly baked bread. Full-bodied, fleshy and ample, it's a broad...

Vinous, September 2022

(91-93 points) The 2021 Chablis Bougros Grand Cru comes from southwest facing parcels (Fèvre almost half the holdings in this Grand Cru) has a very marine-influenced bouquet with touches of granite and a light smoky note...

Wine Spectator, October 2024

Rich and bordering on creamy in texture, featuring peach, apple tart and yellow plum flavors. Focused by lively acidity, with citrus and floral notes on the finish, this version really narrows down to a focal point. Drink...

The 2021 Domaine William Fevre Chablis Bougros Grand Cru is a distinguished Chardonnay from the Burgundy region of France, specifically the Chablis sub-region within the Bougros appellation. This white wine has an alcohol content of 13.0% and is sealed with a traditional cork closure. Produced by the renowned Domaine William Fevre, the wine showcases the meticulous craftsmanship that is characteristic of this esteemed producer.

The wine has received notable praise from several professional reviewers. Decanter awarded the 2021 vintage a score of 92, highlighting its balanced sweetness and acidity. The review states, "Although not the weightiest, showiest or most concentrated grand cru, there is lots to like, with notes of grapefruit, a touch of citrus zest and excellent acidity. With good volume in the mouth, this finishes very fresh" (Decanter, 10/11/2021). The reviewer suggests that the wine will be at its best between 2026 and 2034.

Jasper Morris, writing for Inside Burgundy, rated the wine between 91 and 94 points. The review describes the wine as having a "clear pale color, slightly smoky, good volume of fruit, the smoke coming out in the mouth as reduction on the seashells. Solid weight here, plus the minerals as well" (Jasper Morris, 6/1/2022). The reviewer also notes the wine's density and recommends drinking it from 2027 to 2033.

Vinous provided a similar rating range of 91 to 93 points, emphasizing the wine's marine-influenced bouquet with touches of granite and a light smoky note. Neal Martin from Vinous notes, "The palate is well balanced with a fine bead of acidity, nicely focused with a touch of quince complementing the citrus fruit" (Vinous, 9/1/2022). The wine is expected to be optimal for consumption between 2024 and 2040.

Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate gave a particularly glowing review, assigning a score of 94. Reviewer William Kelley describes the wine as "one of the richer, more gourmand wines in the range, revealing aromas of peach, orange, white flowers and freshly baked bread. Full-bodied, fleshy and ample, it’s a broad, mouth-filling Chablis with bright acids and a precise, saline finish" (Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate, 9/7/2023).

Overall, the 2021 Domaine William Fevre Chablis Bougros Grand Cru is a highly regarded Chardonnay that combines a balanced profile with excellent aging potential. It is characterized by its bright acidity, citrus and mineral notes, and a fresh, precise finish.
