well this wine didn't evolve the way i thought it would... while it had the depth of flavor, complexity that GC chablis should have, it was acidic to the point of being shrill and really didn't have the flesh to balance that out... have to guess it was bottle variation. certainly no flaws.

A light green apple skin color. High end flavors , some pungent things going on. Doesn’t have much specialness happening , but more grand cru nuance to make it better than good.

Burgundy Dinner with Friends (S.K.Y. Restaurant - Chicago IL): Also mostly fresh with some earth hints, but absolutely no signs of oxidation. Apple and pear with floral hints in front of faint earth, this is wonderfully balanced and graceful with good enough weight, even if not quite seemingly showing Grand cru concentration to me. Others liked this more.

Superb light yellow. Scintillating Chablisien aromas of lemon and seashore. Wonderful texture and weight, burnished acidity. Citrus, broth, soil, and a bit of pear for richness of fruit. This is one of the best bottles of Chablis I've had over the past 6 months. Flawless freshness.

Tasted over 2 hrs -translucent pale gold green -mild reduction intense Chablis aromatics -med+ acidity, med weight with ridiculous concentration laying down intensely sappy citrus stone residue from entry through the moderately long finish -brilliant delicious still young-ish, keeping with Bougros this is not the most elegant or complex but worthy of its Grand Cru designation and perfectly singing at this moment, pure bliss

Fast on the heels of the last one, but that bottle was so good, couldn’t resist. Basically the same experience, can just repeat that note. So good.

Super reductive, but after that, total purity with clean lemon and raw almond. The diam 10 cork did a good job. Once the sulfur blows off (and it took a while) the wine shows very nicely. Makes me more confident in the 2010s

Pale straw, flecked with green. Really very fresh indeed, first bottle. Plenty intense lemon, lime fruits plus some sea spray and white flowers, bit of chalkiness. Great acidity, mouth puckering intensity and good length. Diam 11/38 and this seems a success, at least if you have sufficient patience. Hoping for more complexity with time but very good now.

I’ve gone through about a case of this over the years, and some bottles have been good and some merely okay. This one was okay. There’s some good lemony white/clear fruit, good texture and brisk acids, but the oak is too prominent for me. Finkel loved it. Helaine said it was too tart and dumped her glass on the grass! To my palate, the Les Clos and Preuses are much better wines. At Tanglewood, James Taylor on July 4th.

Dinner at Jade Court (Chicago, IL): Overall, I think Fevre did incredibly well in 2010, and with DIAM, the scourge of premox may yet be mitigated. This was a bottle that was still very fresh, and there were nascent secondary characteristics (correct). A bit peachy and fatter than I like my chablis, but still super delicious overall.

Wow. This just gets better and better with time. Lime, green apples, lots of minerality, acidity and considerable weigth and ‘montrachet’ creaminess and length for a Chablis.

decanted for an hour which helped... clear, straw to bright yellow rim... aromatically very GC chablis with deep mineral soaked citrus notes... some hints white fruits... some new oak background notes. on the palate high acids, moderate low to midpalte weight, low etoh. this wine was excellent in the world of chablis with GC depth... agree with others it has some breadth and weight and ripeness that is a little more than average chablis... however still has that seashell iodine note that makes it pure chablis. no rush on this... hold 3-5.

Fevre's Chablis Bourgos is always good, and this bottle was no exception. It was a wonderful expression of Chablis. I suspect that it's "drink up" in the near future and then but more recent vintages - this bottle was not quite as crisp and bright as in the past, but still good.

Good, but I think we expected a bit more? Perhaps unfairly. A litttle funky to start but that blew off quickly. Crisp lemon lime with some nice minerality to it. Seemed just a tad... generic? At least for grand cru. Happy to drink again but may not seek out.

tasted over 3 hrs -shimmering translucent pale yellow-green -never really blossomed in expressiveness but distinct sea breeze and citrus plants this firmly in Chablis -med+ acidity fully buffered by loads of mid-palate sap and intense minerality with only med weight, lemon/grapefruit and saline, powerful if not terribly complex, long finish -classic power without weight, as is often the case with Bougros not as complex or refined but rather on the burly end of the spectrum, this is a great example drinking very well now early in its plateau

Similar to my previous notes. Certainly a good Chablis, but for a 2010 & grand cru & from this producer somewhat weak (at this point - will it show better in a couple years???). I had the 1er cru 2010 Montee de Tonnerre from Fevre 4 times now (3 times from magnum once from normal bottle) and had this Bougros 2010 twice - I feel the 1er cru Montee de Tonnerre is better by quite a long margin. Which seems odd. So my advise would be to look for the 1er Cru which you might be able to get for a good price still rather then this particular grand cru.

Liked it - but clearly weaker then the 2010 Montee de Tonnerre 1er Cru in my opinion. Would have expected a bit more from this, just a little short and not expressive at this stage.

I am too much of an idiot about white wine to do a serious evaluation of this, but: I bought it as a test to see if I could tell the difference between this and a $20 well-regarded bourgogne and a $30 chablis. Answer: not at first. But as it warmed up, the initially clipped finish was longer and more complex. Proved itself capable over the night. So I get why it's $50, but the educational part for me is that the increase in quality is still not enough for me to buy it again. I've bought a few other chablis that people seem to like, and I'll be trying those for the same reason.
Very nice. Quite full. Will benefit from way more time in bottle, but very enjoyable now. Flinty, smoke, nutty, lemon, white peach and nectarine. Some apple, and pear.

PopnPour, tasted over 2 hrs and day 2 -translucent pale gold -gorgeous aromatics as it warms, citrus and the sea -med++ acidity buffered with buckets of mid-palate sap give an incredible intensity and energy though not much finesse, moderate complexity, good length -really opened up in the past 6 months; fantastic, if somewhat brutish at the moment, wine that will improve over several more years as it adds complexity and subtlety

Color: yellow/light gold. Delicious nose of lemon, lime, oyster shell. Palate a little young for my taste: minerals, grapefruit, lemon curd, some green apple. Large scaled with acidity to spare, this will probably improve but I much prefer the '05 Valmur from last night . . . .

PopnPour, tasted over 3 hours and Day 2 -light/med translucent gold -reticent nose with a little bit of citrus becomes more expressive with creamy lemon and sulfur on 2nd day -med acidity, big boned with sappy intensity and med+ weight/concentration but not revealing much complexity or dominant characteristic until the 2nd day when it explodes on the palate with a focused saline minerality, excellent length -really shut down, needs several more years or a lot of air

France 2013 - Chablis (Chablis): Tasted at the Domaine. Hints of wood on the nose but beyond that really lovely aromas of lemon cream and classic saline and mineral notes. Well balanced in the mouth with loads of acidity and green apple flavours. Some nice chalky hints too. Wait a few years. Excellent. 92+

Nice wine with plenty of (but well balanced) acidity. I kept thinking of sandy seashells on the palate with grapefruit and melons, with a touch of lanolin somewhere. The youth is obvious here, but I'm still drinking my white Burgs early.

Clearly very young at this point. The predominant flavors, once past the heavy entry of acid, include apple, stone fruit and grapefruit. It reminds me of a NZ sauv blanc but with more heft and bolder flavors. Lovely bottle that should evolve and last for quite awhile.

Visiting Domaine William Fèvre (Chablis, Burgundy, France): From a flatter parcel on top of the Bougros GC. Quite rich and warm, stone fruits. Round and quite big on the palate, not as structured as I expected. Feels even a bit lazy in the mouth. In my opinion, this is not quite in the class of other Fevre GCs.

Lovely balance from a good vintage. Fresh but complex and very fine. It may change as it ages, but it's certainly a pleasure to consume now.

Light straw color. Tart with notes of apple and lemon with nice minerality. Overall a very good wine, but not really Grand Cru worthy in my opinion.

Nous commençons fort avec un superbe apéro à la fois salin avec une touche d'huile de sésame et une bonne acidité . Un léger boisé et une touche de gingembre . Un chardonnay droit qui se voit très bien .
16.5/20 ++

Clear, very pale straw. White peach, Apple, straw. Medium to low acids, no tannins, not sweet. Lemon rind. Short acidic finish.

Good, but I think we expected a bit more? Perhaps unfairly. A litttle funky to start but that blew off quickly. Crisp lemon lime with some nice minerality to it. Seemed just a tad... generic? At least for grand cru. Happy to drink again but may not seek out.

tasted over 3 hrs
-shimmering translucent pale yellow-green
-never really blossomed in expressiveness but distinct sea breeze and citrus plants this firmly in Chablis
-med+ acidity fully buffered by loads of mid-palate sap and intense minerality with only med weight, lemon/grapefruit and saline, powerful if not terribly complex, long finish
-classic power without weight, as is often the case with Bougros not as complex or refined but rather on the burly end of the spectrum, this is a great example drinking very well now early in its plateau

Similar to my previous notes. Certainly a good Chablis, but for a 2010 & grand cru & from this producer somewhat weak (at this point - will it show better in a couple years???). I had the 1er cru 2010 Montee de Tonnerre from Fevre 4 times now (3 times from magnum once from normal bottle) and had this Bougros 2010 twice - I feel the 1er cru Montee de Tonnerre is better by quite a long margin. Which seems odd. So my advise would be to look for the 1er Cru which you might be able to get for a good price still rather then this particular grand cru.

Liked it - but clearly weaker then the 2010 Montee de Tonnerre 1er Cru in my opinion. Would have expected a bit more from this, just a little short and not expressive at this stage.

I am too much of an idiot about white wine to do a serious evaluation of this, but: I bought it as a test to see if I could tell the difference between this and a $20 well-regarded bourgogne and a $30 chablis. Answer: not at first. But as it warmed up, the initially clipped finish was longer and more complex. Proved itself capable over the night. So I get why it's $50, but the educational part for me is that the increase in quality is still not enough for me to buy it again. I've bought a few other chablis that people seem to like, and I'll be trying those for the same reason.

Swordfish one evening and lobster the next, the wonderful crisp minerality works equally well with both. A fruit orchard delight, the fragrance wafting to the mid palate are mouth savoring and pure.

Bright light gold green hue. Smooth and weighty with a long long finish. Creamy with green apples, lemon, almonds and salt with a buttery biscuit lingering aftertaste. Fresh and precise with great acidity and structure. Will develop complexity for years but fine now.

PopnPour, tasted over 2 hrs and day 2
-translucent pale gold
-gorgeous aromatics as it warms, citrus and the sea
-med++ acidity buffered with buckets of mid-palate sap give an incredible intensity and energy though not much finesse, moderate complexity, good length
-really opened up in the past 6 months; fantastic, if somewhat brutish at the moment, wine that will improve over several more years as it adds complexity and subtlety

Color: yellow/light gold. Delicious nose of lemon, lime, oyster shell. Palate a little young for my taste: minerals, grapefruit, lemon curd, some green apple. Large scaled with acidity to spare, this will probably improve but I much prefer the '05 Valmur from last night . . . .

-med acidity, big boned with sappy intensity and med+ weight/concentration but not revealing much complexity or dominant characteristic until the 2nd day when it explodes on the palate with a focused saline minerality, excellent length
-really shut down, needs several more years or a lot of air

France 2013 - Chablis (Chablis): Tasted at the Domaine. Hints of wood on the nose but beyond that really lovely aromas of lemon cream and classic saline and mineral notes. Well balanced in the mouth with loads of acidity and green apple flavours. Some nice chalky hints too. Wait a few years. Excellent. 92+

Focus on 2010 Burgundy- The 2013 La Paulee Grand Tasting (Metropolitan Pavilion, New York): Classically saline and brothy with greater volume than either Premier Cru, but alas, this was also the wine in which the wood stuck out noticeably. Otherwise attractive but I have to mark it down for the amount of oak.

Nice wine with plenty of (but well balanced) acidity. I kept thinking of sandy seashells on the palate with grapefruit and melons, with a touch of lanolin somewhere. The youth is obvious here, but I'm still drinking my white Burgs early.

Clearly very young at this point. The predominant flavors, once past the heavy entry of acid, include apple, stone fruit and grapefruit. It reminds me of a NZ sauv blanc but with more heft and bolder flavors. Lovely bottle that should evolve and last for quite awhile.

Visiting Domaine William Fèvre (Chablis, Burgundy, France): From a flatter parcel on top of the Bougros GC. Quite rich and warm, stone fruits. Round and quite big on the palate, not as structured as I expected. Feels even a bit lazy in the mouth. In my opinion, this is not quite in the class of other Fevre GCs.
