The bouquet is sooooo intoxicating, melting you from all directions with orange and apple blossoms, peach and nectarine nectar, jasmine, shortbread, lemon pledge, limeade, oyster shells and ocean spray, and crushed gravel
On the palate a spectrum of citrus lasers meld w that juicy dripping peach flesh ~ riding that long acidic and saline finish ~ WOW! — 3 months ago
Pulled from the wine fridge and double-decanted about 90 minutes prior to service; enjoyed over the course of three hours. The 2005 Bougros pours a deep straw color with medium viscosity. On the nose, the wine is vinous with notes of marmalade, dried apricot, cashews, chalky minerals, leesy, and slightly sherried. On the palate, the wine is dry with medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is long and super chalky.
This improved dramatically as it came up to temperature and had some real time to stretch its legs. It showed all the hallmarks of well aged GC Chablis from a solar year: powerful, dried fruit; the chalk; the acid; its creamy, leesy texture. The sherried, oxidative notes seemed to dissipate over time, freshening up a bit after being cooped up for so long. Bravo! Drink now and before 2030. Thanks Andy! — 2 months ago
Brought out of the cellar. From a trip to Napa in 2011? Cherry and tobacco on the front. Hints of mint as it lingers. Still a full tannic finish after 16 years. Another bottle in the cellar to try in a few years more. Paired with locally sourced braised beef short ribs. — 3 months ago
Excellent nose. Very balanced and smooth. Thoroughly enjoyed to top off the tasting experience in the cave tasting room at Jarvis Estates. — a month ago
Feel like I skip over this entry level Fevre Chablis but this is up in the cut. — 2 months ago
Il y a du volume, de l’ampleur, une certaine puissance avec, rapidement, un développement subtil vers l’amertume et le miel sauvage. — 3 months ago

Guys, this is really really good. I’ve been on a bad streak with premox - 4 of 6 fevre 04 les clos’s I recently bought went down the drain so I was worried looking at the color through the bottle. So I opened one even though it is way too young. Never had the Cote Bouguerots before. Very impressive. Much weightier and rounder than typical Chablis, but still with enough apple and limestone to place it. Big fan especially at the price point. — 10 days ago
