Chablis Grand Cru Bougros 2012

Internet über: Chablis Grand Cru Bougros

-- Internet: -- JG: Patrick Piuze’s 2012 Bougros is a lovely wine, offering up a pure and succulent personality of great breed and refinement. The complex and wide open bouquet offers up scents of pear, lemon, a fine spread of chalky soil tones, beeswax, lemon blossoms and a faint touch of vanillin oak. On the palate the wine is deep, full-bodied and classy, with more obvious complexity out of the blocks than the lovely Montée de Tonnerre this year, crisp acids and excellent length and grip on the focused and suave finish. This is totally delicious to drink today, but I would try hard to give it at least a couple of years in the cellar to allow its secondary layers of complexity to emerge. 93+/100 -- Galloni: The 2012 Chablis Bougros impresses for its energy and focus. Beams of acidity and minerality support smoke, apple, green pear, spice and mint notes in a crystalline Chablis endowed with tons of pure drive. Expressive floral notes add an attractive upper register as the wine opens up in the glass. 92-94/100
