William Fèvre : Chablis Grand cru "Bougros Côte Bouguerots" Domaine 2022

A ripe style, offering peach, apple and earth flavors, plus a hint of mint. The round profile is bisected by vivid acidity as this white fades to the graceful, oyster shell–inflected finish. Drink now. 100 cases imported.

The very steep aspect of Côte Bouguerots brings a much greater emphasis on minerality than Fevre's Bougros. This is a grand cru in every way—so much drive on the palate with plenty of extract, concentration, salinity, and length. Certain to age very well, yet surprisingly approachable early on. Didier Seguier says it’s likely to shut down after 18–24 months, but this is clearly a fine example with masses of potential.
