Bougros sits on a very steep slope, with a gradient of more than 30%, facing due south at the foot of
the hill. The shallow soil, a mixture of clay and gravel, prevents excessive yields resulting
in complex, robust wines.
• GRAPE VARIETY: 100% Chardonnay
• SOIL AND SUBSOIL OF CHABLIS: Chalky clay, marl, and marly limestone from the
Kimmeridgian era (the upper Jurassic geological period, 160-140 million years ago), rich
in minerals and oyster fossils, giving the mineral character typical of the wines of Chablis.
• SOIL AND SUBSOIL OF THE APPELLATION: A blend of clay and pebbles on rather
thin soil. This terroir structure acts as a natural brake on the vigor of the vine and as
a result on the yields of the parcels.
• SURFACE AND LOCALISATION OF THE APPELLATION: 12.62 hectares, at the west/
southwest point of the Côte des Grands Crus, on a steep (higher than 30%) slope and
benefiting fully from the sun's rays.
• SURFACE AND LOCATION OF OUR PARCELS: 6.23 hectares, ie 49% of the total
appellation, 2.11 ha of which lie in the «Côte Bouguerots» with a full southern exposure at the
foot of the slope.
