91pts Vinous

Scents of citrus oil, peach, honeycomb and flowers preface the 2019 Chablis Grand Cru Bougros, a full-bodied, layered and concentrated wine that's rich and satiny, with an ample core of fruit and a somewhat heady, oak-inflected finish. While it possesses plenty of weight and substance, it isn't my favorite grand cru bottling chez Servin this year. I suspect, however, that it will calm down with bottle age.

Winemaker Notes

There is a plentitude of classic Chablis elements present on the green fruit and lemon rind-suffused nose that is trimmed in moderate wood influence. The succulent, round and admirably concentrated larger-scaled flavors possess plenty of sappy dry extract that confers a seductive texture to the mid-palate that contrasts somewhat with the powerful, impressively long and youthfully austere finale. This imposing effort will definitely need at least a few years to develop more depth, but it should be worth the wait.
