"The 2014 Chablis Grand Cru Bougros Côte Bouguerots has an almost surgical bouquet: extremely well-defined and balanced, with a subtle style featuring aromas of green apple, Conference pear, and sea spray/oyster shells. At the moment, the wine is tightly wrapped up. The palate is very well balanced with crisp, harmonious acidity and just the right amount of salinity, long and tender on the finish. It was impressive in the barrel, and it is just as impressive in the bottle.” (Wine Advocate 2016 - Robert Parker) Delivered in a wooden case for orders of 6 bottles of this wine

Bettane & Desseauve
Rated wine (2017 guide) 18.5/20 (Exceptional quality wine)
Rated estate (2021 guide): 5 stars (Exceptional producers, those who represent the absolute pinnacle of quality in France and around the world)
About the wine:
A superb, briny, mouth-watering wine, very well-structured, with body and power, and an intense finish.
About the estate:
Having been in charge since the estate was acquired by Bouchard Père et Fils of Beaune nearly a quarter of a century ago, Didier Séguier has significantly improved the quality of the wines since then. While the vineyard holdings are undoubtedly the finest in all of Chablis, encompassing both Premier Crus and Grands Crus, it is the meticulous and rigorous work in both the vineyard and the cellar that allows for the full expression of the minerality unique to Chablis’s Kimmeridgian limestone. These wines are typically enjoyable when young but age impeccably.

About the wine:
The 2014 Chablis Grand Cru Bougros Côte Bouguerots has an almost surgical bouquet: extremely well-defined and balanced, with a subtle style featuring aromas of green apple, Conference pear, and sea spray/oyster shells. At this stage, the wine is tightly wrapped up. The palate is very well balanced with crisp, harmonious acidity and just the right amount of salinity, leading to a long, tender finish. It was impressive in the tank, and it’s just as impressive in the bottle.
About the estate:
RVF - La Revue du Vin de France / Guide des Meilleurs Vins de France
Wine rated (2017 guide) 18/20 (Great wine)
Rated Estate (2023 Guide) 2*Stars (These exceptional estates, often boasting fabulous terroirs, are must-haves that, thanks to the consistency and excellence of their wines, deserve a place in the cellars of discerning wine lovers)
About the wine:
The sunny character of this vineyard is beautifully tamed, expressing itself through a concentration of dry matter and complex bitter-mineral notes in its magnificent finish. In its youth, the oak is slightly noticeable.
About the estate:
Owned by the Henriot Group, this estate is the largest owner of Grand Cru vineyards in Chablis, with over fifteen hectares. Its extensive vineyards and diverse range of exceptional terroirs are brought to their fullest potential through meticulous management: soil tillage, hand-harvesting at the optimal time, and yield control. Passionate about his vines, Didier Seguier, who has led the estate since 1998, produces pure, well-defined, and crisp Chablis wines, using organic methods (certification pending) and even biodynamic practices for the Premier and Grand Crus. With the exception of the Petit Chablis, vinification and aging are skillfully divided for each cuvée between barrels—never new—and stainless steel tanks. Eschewing any signature style, the wines captivate through their respect for the terroir and the expression of minerality, which have been better preserved since the estate gradually switched the entire range to Diam’s corks between 2005 and 2010. The transition to organic farming is underway.
