Allen Meadows, Burghound

Here too the wood treatment is moderate on the elegant white flower and citrus-infused aromas that display classic Chablis scents, especially oyster shell. The textured and highly energetic larger-bodied flavors exude a subtle minerality on the powerful, serious and built-to-age finish where a touch of bitter lemon slowly emerges. This mildly rustic effort is very Bougros in style and character.

This grand cru is situated on the west/south-west extremity of the seven grands crus of Chablis. Our cuvée of Bougros comes from a vine located on the top of the slope, so the exposure to the sun is excellent. The wine is fermented and aged in oak barrels with regular "batonnage". The coolness of the cellar exempts us from a cold stabilisation process: the precipitation of tartar crystals takes place naturally during winter. Then the wine is bottled with a light filtration after 18 months ageing.
