With the Bougros Pierrick has turned the volume up to 11! There is such character and drive with lots of concentration, boldly structured, with grip and immaculate length. Deep core of citrus, lime and mandarin fruit - then that Chablis hit of oyster shell, and a super fine mineral drive that pushes on and on. A beautiful, imposing Grand Cru.

Bougros is the last Grand Cru on the western side of the hill and enjoys a south to south-westerly exposition. Pierrick’s parcel comes from the western end of Bougros, towards the top of the hill where the slope is only about 5%. Vinified in stainless steel, it was matured for 8 months in one old 600 litre demi-muid and one older 228 litre barrique adding an extra dimension of complexity to complement the profoundly concentrated fruit from this exceptional site. An outstanding Grand Cru.

’A wine of generous concentration but always juicily melting with flavour at the edges. Clearly the most complex and changing, long finish..’
