Product Information: A heady bouquet of lemon zest and yellow peaches, honeydew melon and wildflowers finish with white stones and chalk and a sprinkle of sea salt in the back of the mouth. This sub-parcel of “Bougros” (on the far-west corner of the grand cru vineyard) is one of the steepest terroir in Chablis. 100% older-barrel fermented.
“Fashioned from a famed sector of the same vineyard (one which every producer spells differently just to complicate things for consumers and wine critics alike), the 2004 Chablis Bougros "Cote de Bouqueyreaud" detonates from the glass with intense quartz, almond, and mineral scents. Medium to full-bodied, concentrated, and ample, it is a powerful offering packed with rich waves of almond paste, lime zest, candied lemons, sea shells, and iodine. Perhaps this wine’s most impressive quality, however, is its awesomely long, silky-textured, salty mineral-laden finish. Drink it over the next 6-7 years.”
-The Wine Advocate
Parker Review:
Syrupy minerals and new oak spices are found in the aromatic profile of the 2004 Chablis Bougros. Mediumbodied, deep, powerful, and concentrated, it wows the taster with its potent minerality as well as its outstanding purity. Slate, sea salt, sage, and briny oyster characteristics are found in its superexpressive, prolonged flavor profile.
Tanzer Review:
Cool, captivating aromas of lime, pepper, mint and crushed stone this reminded me a bit of gruner veltliner. Dense, ripe, creamy and sweet but with a strong stony quality and nicely integrated acidity giving it shape and verve. This wine was a bit severe last year from barrel, but today its generous and pliant, without any loss of typicity.
