Samuel Billaud, Chablis Grand Cru 'Bougros', 2023 cellar created 4/9/26 Marc Ollivier's Domaine de laBougros is the western end of the Grand Cru hill, the corner that runs down to where the Serein narrows below a flatter southwest facing terrace on top where the clay and marl deepen, and a steeper south facing pitch beneath it where the soil turns poor.
