Tasting notes
6 hl/ha. A pure and glowing lemon yellow. The precision of the bouquet is impressive, with a slight marine reduction. Fine boned yet with backbone. There is significant energy behind, this has absolutely retained the style of the vineyard, less intense than some years but exceptionally fine.

The 2024 Chablis Bougros Côte Bouguerots Grand Cru was limited to just four barrels this vintage. It has a crisp, stony bouquet with light-pressed white flower scents and sea spray. The palate is quite penetrating on the entry with a silver bead of acidity and plenty of orchard fruit mixed with chai and ginger. This is one of the most complex cuvées toward the finish. It deserves bottle age.

(Don't Miss)<br /> (from a 2.2 ha parcel at the bottom section of the vineyard; even so, the vineyard is so steep here that it must be worked entirely by hand as tractors would be dangerous to use; from yields of only 9.5 hl/ha in 2024). Classic Chablis nuances of iodine, quinine, mineral reduction, oyster shell and lemon-lime add impressive breadth to the mostly white orchard fruit scents. Once again the palate impression of the super-sleek and intense large-scaled flavors is borderline thick while displaying superb power and drive on the youthfully austere and beautifully balanced finale. This is breathtakingly good.
