While the 2018 Chablis Grand Cru Bougros was inscrutable when I tasted it during its élevage a year ago, it was in fine form this spring, unwinding in the glass to reveal aromas of pear, white flowers, orange rind and peach. Medium to full-bodied, muscular, and textural, it's ample and fleshy, with ripe but racy acids and fine depth at the core.
This is generally the richest, most fruit-driven grand cru bottling chez Fèvre, 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.

Unfurling in the glass with aromas of white flowers, fresh peach, Meyer lemon and crushed chalk. It's full-bodied, deep, and fleshy, with excellent concentration, racy acids and chalky structuring extract, concluding with a precise finish. While this Bougros is still quite demonstrative, it is showing more complexity and tension after another six months in bottle and is well worth seeking out.
The 2016 Chablis Grand Cru Bougros has a very attractive bouquet in the making: apple blossom, linden, wet limestone, and touches of pear emerging from the glass, all with fine delineation. The palate is well balanced with fine acidity. It is taut and linear but there is fine depth here and a touch of salinity toward the finish that lingers in the mouth. Excellent.
The 2015 Chablis Grand Cru Bougros comes from vines enjoying a southwest and south exposure. Though digging the snout in deeper you can eke out scents of cockleshell and fresh mussels. The palate is well balanced with crisp acidity. There is fine definition here, quite saline in the mouth with a crisp, lightly spiced finish that continues that estuarine theme.
The Chablis Grand Cru Bougros comes from six hectares traversing the southwest exposed plateau and the slope with high limestone content. It has a precise bouquet with touches of yellow flowers infusing the citrus fruit – a real jack-in-the-box set of aromas. The palate is well-balanced with very good intensity, a slight marine influence coming through on the back palate.
