Tasted blind at the Burgundy 2011 horizontal tasting in Beaune. There is good minerality on the nose of the Chablis Grand Cru Bougros Côte Bouguerots – real flinty aromas with smoke and a touch of grilled hazelnut. The palate is well balanced with lemon peel and freshly slice lime on the entry. The acidity is very well judged, very harmonious with a feminine, almost understated finish that is graceful and elegant. This is roaring away at the starting blocks. Excellent.
Pale, bright yellow-green. Vibrant citrus fruits, mint, menthol and minerals on the nose. Tactile and extract-rich, with terrific cut to its lemon and flint flavors. Really saturates the palate on the chewy, precise, very long finish. Made from a steep site that faces full south, this wine is a moderate 12.5% alcohol in the bottle.
Apples and lemons, a touch of chalk, and a chewy, leesy mouthfeel. Not as substantial as the Vaudésir. (RH)
