Tasting Notes

Somewhat curiously, in 2009 this is actually more elegant than is typical with a ripe, pure and pretty nose of apple and white orchard fruit aromas that lead to dense, powerful and muscular broad-scaled flavors that manage to keep fine detail on the palate staining finish. This is a big wine and while it's by no means as refined as the Côte de Bouguerots, it's not heavy or overtly rustic either.

Score: 93

Allen Meadows, Burghound Maturity: 2016+ 01 October 2011

The 2009 Chablis Bougros is a striking wine that shows many of the elements of grand cru Chablis is a smaller scaled, accessible style that is highly appealing. Smoke, ash, crushed rocks and a host of other aromas and flavors wrap around the sensual, saline finish. This is a round, harmonious style very well-suited to near and mid-term drinking. Fevre owns fully 50% of this grand cru. The Bourgros is made from the plateau portion of the vineyard, where the soils are deep and rich in clay. Anticipated maturity: 2012-2019.
