Here too there is a very subtle influence of wood that frames ripe yet elegant and impressively pure aromas of citrus spice hints tidal pool and oyster shell notes all of which are picked up by the highly complex and deep big-bodied flavors that are incredibly intense and quite unusually for Bougros possess 'hot knife through butter' cut and delineation. An atypically elegant effort for the appellation. (Don't miss!)

Sweet lime buddleia lily and hints of the ocean scent Fevre's 2007 Chablis Bougros. On a creamy dense palate this gushes with liquid floral perfume citrus and an uncanny (more Preuses-typical) concentration of shrimp shell reduction and scallop whose sweet saline subtly iodine-bitter savor carries into a long luscious yet lively conclusion. It took a while relates Didier Seguier to tame the inherent vigor of these deep moisture-retentive soils but tough love has - as this wine demonstrates - permitted the retention of infectiously ripe acidity and finesse to accompany Bougros largesse. Plan to follow this for a decade.-David Schildknecht

(domain bottling) Pale, green-tinged yellow. Lime peel and metallic minerality on the nose. Juicy, citric and firmly built, with strong crushed stone and oyster minerality contributing to the impression of sharp definition. Richer than the Vaulorent but not quite as complex as that wine. Finishes with lovely grip and length though. -- Stephen Tanzer
