  April 19, 2024 - Bougros is the least qualitative grand cru of chablis to the exception of the Cote de Bougros, which is a hill just above the main road along the Serein River and which sits on well drained soils, and tends to be the best sector of Bougros (Fevre makes a special cuvee here) lending to the wnes airy and laser like qualities. The upper of Bougros is almost flat, while that part is close to Gd cru Preuse, it is less interesting than the cote de Bougros, and more rustic. In Chablis, more than anywhere else in Burgundy, the winemaker makes the difference and the Laventureux Bougros 16 displays airy scents with slightly herbal, iodine and citrus notes, then a bone dry and chiselled mouth follows, in a relatively monochrome and pebble infused finish. While this wine is qualitatively and technically all right, one should curb its enthousiasm after reading "grand cru" on the label, one should not expect more than a good 1er cru from the cote de Lechet.

  September 25, 2023 - Peaches and lemon zest; full, buttery, fruitful, powerful, lively, very forward but very enjoyable
  After 1 Hour: Somewhat more subdued but still pleasing

  October 18, 2020 - A little astringent on opening, much better later, especially on day 2. Great balance of fruit, minerality and acidity. Citrus flavors, esp meyer lemon, clean finish.

  September 9, 2020 - Medium yellow. An evocative and multifacted nose is at once very Chablis but still reflective of the Lavantureux house style as of late, offering aromas of green pear, baked yellow apple, summer squash, lemon curd, fresh buttermilk, chalk and baking spice. Medium bodied on the palate with medium+ acidity, this is lush upon entry but tightens up on the dry extract drenched finish. Tasty now but surely better in a year or two.

  February 13, 2019 - Excellent Chablis before the old N. Rhone tasting. Racy, good depth, citrus, long, mineral, a very good package. Dirty Dozen N. Rhone at Taylors.
