Domaine Servin has become one of the most dependable sources of value in Chablis, and the 2024 Bougros is another outstanding example of the quality the domaine continues to deliver. The vintage was a difficult and painfully small one, with frost, hail, and persistent rainfall requiring enormous effort throughout the growing season, but those who stayed vigilant produced wines of exceptional freshness, purity, and classical Chablis character. Located at the northwestern edge of the Grand Cru slope, Bougros is naturally one of the broadest, richest, and most approachable of the Grand Crus, thanks to its ability to achieve greater ripeness, yet Servin’s 45-year-old vines, planted in Kimmeridgian limestone and clay soils, deliver plenty of tension and mineral definition. The 2024 combines ripe pear, green apple, and citrus with white flowers, oyster shell, and a subtle leesy richness, offering impressive density through the middle while remaining chiseled, energetic, and precise through the long, saline finish. Generous enough to be approachable relatively early but structured for a decade or more in the cellar, this is one of the best buys for Grand Cru Chablis this vintage and not to miss at this great price!

John Gilman 95 pts!  These vines are up at the very top of the slope in Bougros and the wine was fermented and raised entirely in older oak casks in 2024. The bouquet is deep and youthfully complex, wafting from the glass in a mix of pink grapefruit, lemon, a gorgeous base of chalky soil tones, lemon blossoms and a deft touch of vanillin oak. On the palate the wine is full-bodied, focused and complex, with a gorgeous core of fruit, lovely soil inflection and grip, a fine spine of acidity and impeccable balance on the long, vibrant finish. First class Bougros. (Drink between 2032 - 2075)
