Val de Mer Bougros Grand Cru Chablis Chardonnay
Chablis, Burgundy, France
Oh ‘13, why you gotta be so botrytis-y. (Yes, late rains, sadly). Under the gingery chamomile stuff, it’s solid Bougros. And not nearly as noble rotten as some.

Im often perplexed by how delicious these wines are and they prices they go fo, especially on the secondary market. Absolutely delicious, classic supple and ripe Bougros character with spine and minerality holding it all together. Deliciously salty and refreshing, yet contemplative with its layers and nuance too. Tangerine, ripe white peach, crisp apple and a slight kiss of pineapple. Iodine, sea spray, crushed oyster shell, chervil and aged ham round it out. Would love to revisit with another 5 years on it.
