2024 Chablis Grand Cru Bougros, William Fèvre

2024 Chablis Grand Cru Bougros, William Fèvre

William Fèvre owns almost half of the Bougros lieu-dit, so it’s no wonder theirs is the best example you will find. Its clay soils make a flattering, comparatively early-drinking grand cru, which will show well early. The nose is brimming with the scent of freshly cut grass and the palate has an open, peachy texture. Excellent value.

Tasting notes

A yield of 12 hl/ha. Lemon and lime in colour. There is a certain power, but not vast weight either. Precision and freshness, says Didier Seguier. Still a light peachiness and a little salty bitterness behind. The Bougros has really not yet developed its full potential, but shows promise. Drink from 2029-2034. Tasted Jul 2025.

The 2024 Chablis Bougros Grand Cru is quite reticent on the nose, suggesting that it needs time in bottle. This is more marine-influenced than the Premier Crus from William Fevre. The palate is well balanced with a keen line of acidity. It is not the most complex Bougros that I have tasted from this producer, although there is good weight with tangy grapefruit and melon on the finish. Fine.
