Domaine William Fvre – Chablis Grand Cru Bougros 2020 (750ml)

Winemaker Notes

Chablis Bougros Grand Cru has a rich bouquet with intense mineral notes. It is full and round, yet firm and massive on the palate.

Pairs well with fish, shellfish and other seafood, poultry and white meat, all grilled or in a cream sauce.

Critical Acclaim

Lighter lemon yellow, the bouquet offering a light touch of menthol and especially anis. Deeper generous soil here but they think they have learnt to get the best out of it. Certainly a grand cru wealth of fruit, the acidity keeps the balance very nicely, a generous warm overcoat and good length. Nice wine!

Robert Parker\’s Wine Advocate
This is generally the richest, most fruit-driven grand cru bottling chez Fvre, but the 2020 Chablis Grand Cru Bougros is a wine of particular distinction. Exhibiting aromas of peach, citrus blossom, bee pollen and oyster shell, it\’s a medium to full-bodied, satiny and layered wine that\’s ample but elegant, with racy acids and a long, saline finish.

This is restrained to the point of being all but aromatically mute though aggressive swirling eventually coaxes notes of green fruit, citrus peel and oyster shell nuances to reveal themselves. There is both excellent volume and concentration to the big-bodied, powerful and imposing flavors that are focused, structured and youthfully austere. This is very much a work in progress, and I would advise allowing this at least 5 years of cellaring and it should easily reward a decade or more.
