William Fevre Chablis Grand Cru Bougros 2018 750ml

Domaine William Fèvre is one of the largest Grand Cru landholders in Chablis and a benchmark for the appellation's precise, mineral Chardonnay. Bougros, the westernmost of the seven Grand Crus, sits on Kimmeridgian limestone slopes along the Serein River. The 2018 vintage was warm and sunny, and here that heat translates into ripe pear, apple and tangerine fruit, still framed by cooling chalk, white flowers and a hint of smoke. Wine Enthusiast called it a "concentrated, understated wine," and John Gilman summed it up as "Superb juice." Full-bodied with real grip and length, it is drinking well now and should hold through 2030.
