Chablis Grand Cru Bougros Drouhin 2021

"A delicate and ample wine, easy to appreciate. The pale yellow colour is very pure, with light green reflections. On the nose, floral aromas of acacia harmonize with vegetal notes of fern and coriander. The aromas on the nose are amplified when the wine is in the mouth, together with new notes of orange or lemon marmalade. It has a soft, round, well balanced body. The aromas of fruit are enhanced by intense mineral notes evolving towards a slightly smoky flavour. Beautiful length on the aftertaste." - Véronique Boss-Drouhin

"The 2021 Chablis Bougros Grand Cru, raised in used barrels for between 12 and 15 months, has a very light and monochromatic nose that doesn't seem to get a grip. The palate has closed up since I tasted it from barrel, but it is at least balanced with well-judged acidity and some crisp, peppery fruit. It should drink well for the next decade." - Neal Martin
