About this Item
With a family history spanning over 250 years in Chablis, it came as an easy choice for William Fèvre to follow winemaking in this historic, Chardonnay-growing region. The domaine was established in 1959 with 7 hectares of vineyards and has grown to 78 hectares (including Grands and Premiers Crus), making it one of the largest domaines in the region. Producing prestigious, classic Chablis, Domaine William Fèvre made its mark as a leader in this region. In 1998, Maisons et Domaines Henriot became the new owner of the domaine, continuing the path William had laid. In the vineyard, harvesting is done by hand and organic methods are followed (although not certified). The domain also transitioned to biodynamic viticulture in 2015, receiving environmental certification for its sustainable practices.
Chablis Bougros Côte Bouguerots is one of the Grand Cru vineyards in Chablis, situated on the right bank of the Serein River. The vineyard is renowned for its Kimmeridgian limestone soils, which impart minerality and complexity to the wines produced from its grapes. Chablis Grand Cru wines are celebrated for their depth, concentration, and aging potential, and Bougros Côte Bouguerots is regarded as one of the finest sites within the appellation.

Critics Ratings
‘An exceptionally elegant high-toned and strikingly layered nose of oyster shell, mineral reduction and perfumed cool green fruit is extremely seductive and serves as a fascinating introduction to the concentrated, serious and powerful yet refined flavors that ooze a fine minerality on the mouth coating and hugely long finish. This is blessed with buckets of sap that completely buffer the firm acid spine. This is a flat out great effort that is indisputably a "wow" wine.’ - Allen Meadows, Burghound.com, 96/100 (Oct 2010)
‘Crushed chalk; alkaline, saline, maritime elements; bright lemon and grapefruit segue from the nose to a silken-textured palate of vibratory vivacity, with tart fruit skin chew and citrus rind pungency adding further invigoration to a wine that already seems to be rumbling on the runway and poised to take off. Look for a dozen or more years of intense fascination but don’t be in too much hurry to pull the second cork.’ - David Schildknecht, Wine Advocate, 95/100 (Oct 2010)
