Fevre's 2008 Chablis Bougros Cote de Bouguerots – from the steep, riverside portion of Bougros – ripened to an exceptional degree for its vintage, relates Didier Seguier, yet retained the highest acidity. 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. As with the corresponding Preuses, the sweeter, more ingratiatingly savory side of Chablis minerality is absent here – for now at least – with sheer high voltage and strikingly palate-staining chalk, alkali, salt, and citrus offering ample compensation. Rapier as well as animated in finish, this preserves an admirable, indeed almost magical sense of transparency to mineral nuance. Look for a dozen or more years of intense fascination but don't be in too much hurry to pull the second cork.
An expression of chalk and mineral from the get-go, this white also offers apple, lemon and yellow plum notes. There's tension, between the savory mineral component and the vivid structure. Offers fine, stony depth on the finish. Best from 2012 through 2024.

Histoire du domaine
Le Domaine William Fèvre a su se hisser au sommet de l'appellation depuis sa création en 1959 par William Fèvre. Cet artisan du renouveau chablisien débuta avec les sept hectares familiaux pour atteindre 80 hectares aujourd'hui, dont 16 en grands crus ; une palette impressionnante de prestigieux terroirs de Chablis !
Acquis par la Maison Bouchard Père & Fils en 1998, c'est Didier Seguier qui en a pris les commandes. Priorité à la limitation des rendements, approche biologique, et même biodynamique depuis 2010, la diversité des terroirs est remarquablement mise en valeur. Des Chablis très purs, ciselés alliant fraîcheur et minéralité.
