Domaine William Fevre Chablis Grand Cru Bougros 2021

In their words -  Rich bouquet with intense mineral notes. Full and round, yet firm
and massive on the palate.  Fish, shellfish and other seafood, grilled or in a cream
sauce. Drink with poultry and white meat, grilled or in a cream sauce.  Perfect pairing - Breton lobster salad.

Use of the principle of gravity so as to avoid all pumping, which could harm the quality of the wine. Brief (1½ - 2 hours) pneumatic pressing to obtain a gentle separation of the solid and liquid parts of the grape. Very light static settling of the juice to preserve enough fine lees so that the alcoholic and malolactic fermentations can occur naturally. The must is run into French oak barrels (aged of 6 years in average) for 50 to 60% of the harvest. The remainder is vinified in small stainless steel vats. 14 to 15 months, of which 5 to 6 months on fine lees in French oak barrels, for 50 to 60% of the harvest. The end of maturation occurs in small stainless steel vats.

Critics thoughts -  From old vines of around 60-65 years on average. Fresh pale colour with a light green tint. Clear pale colour, slightly smoky, good volume of fruit, the smoke coming out in the mouth as reduction on the seashells. Solid weight here, plus the minerals as well. Pretty good intensity across the piece with density at the back. Drink from 2027-2033.  94 points Inside Burgundy
