2011 Chablis Bougros

There are notes of pain grillé that surround the moderately exotic white and yellow orchard fruit aromas that are trimmed in notes of mineral reduction and iodine. The opulent, concentrated and powerful flavors are classic Bougros though for all of the richness and generosity of the mid-palate, the finish does an about face as it's linear, serious, austere and exceptionally persistent and here too there is a note of bitter lemon that surfaces. The opulence of the mid-palate should allow this to drink well in its youth if desired as it's really quite forward for a young Bougros. Tasted: Oct 15, 2013. Drink: 2017+
