2023 Chablis Bougros

Tasting notes:

Bougros, part of the prestigious Chablis Grand Cru appellation, sits on classic Kimmeridgian soils dense with fossilised seashells. Here, southwest-facing slopes and clay-rich soils yield a wine of generosity and finesse. Rounded and approachable in youth, it offers notes of ripe fruit and delicate honey, underpinned by a signature mineral backbone. With time, its aromatics deepen and evolve, making it a versatile partner to scallops, duck breast, or aged goat’s cheese. Enjoyable today, yet capable of graceful ageing for another 10–15 years.
