2021 Pierrick Laroche Maison des Hates Bougros Chablis Grand Cru, Burgundy

One barrel and one demi-muid for elevage. Candle protection used here, just above the section that uses the aspersion. Not a wide nose but one with a fine and deep floral note, beautifully perfumed wine. Hmm, that’s just a beauty in the mouth melting, broad flavour, some salinity. That’s a simply excellent wine  potentially great ,it has been beautifully made.

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 500 litre barrel, adding an extra dimension of complexity to complement the profoundly concentrated fruit from this exceptional site. An outstanding Grand Cru.
