"The 2015 Chablis Grand Cru Bougros is matured in oak barrels of which 20% is new and comes from half a hectare of 25-year-old vines. It was showing some reduction on the nose, but there is still good intensity here, with some lovely honeysuckle aromas billowing with aeration. The palate is well balanced with a fine bead of acidity, fresh and vibrant with good tension, displaying find depth with an almost Corton-Charlemagne-inspired finish. What a wonderful Bougros."

The world's most influential fine-wine producer and the benchmark for Bordeaux, Burgundy, Champagne and the Rhone. Its appellation (AOC) system codifies geography, grape and method, and its wines set the global standard for age-worthiness and terroir expression.
Produces the world's most revered Pinot Noir and Chardonnay from a mosaic of tiny, terroir-defined climats. Its hierarchy of village, Premier Cru and Grand Cru vineyards makes site the ultimate expression of quality.
Produces steely, mineral Chardonnay from Kimmeridgian limestone in Burgundy's cool north, prized for precision, purity and saline drive.
2015 in Burgundy was warm and dry, yielding concentrated, powerful and opulent reds with ripe tannins from low yields; the whites are richer and generous, though some show comparatively lower acidity.
The world's most versatile white grape, producing everything from steely Chablis to rich, oaked whites. Its neutrality makes it a mirror of terroir and winemaking, and the foundation of white Burgundy and Champagne.
