Domaine William Fèvre Chablis Grand Cru Bougros 2018

Critical Acclaim: 95 pts James Suckling; 93 pts Robert Parker's Wine Advocate; 92 pts Burghound; 91 pts Wine Spectator. 

Winemaker's Tasting Notes: Rich bouquet with intense mineral notes. Full and round, yet firm and massive on the palate.

"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, but better in 2022."- James Suckling. 

"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."- Robert Parker's Wine Advocate. 

"Notably ripe, pungent and broad-ranging aromas include those of mineral reduction, pear liqueur, green fruit and soft wood influence. There is very good volume to the delicious, lightly stony and powerful middle weight plus flavors that conclude in a firm, clean, dry, long and youthfully austere finish. This is not yet as complex as it will become so I would definitely advise exercising at least some patience."- Burghound. 

"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."- Wine Spectator.
