Chablis Grand Cru Bougros
2021
Originaire de la Côte d’Or, Jean-Marc Brocard n’est pas le fils d’un vigneron, mais plutôt le fils d’un agriculteur natif du village de Chaudenay-le-Château.

This is still a bit raw but the underlying material is impressive.

There is excellent volume and mid-palate density to the tension-filled big-bodied flavors that evident a taut muscularity on the balanced, long, compact and lemony finale. This is a quality Bougros that is built to reward mid-term cellaring
