(95+) The 2011 Côte de Bouguerots was also in stunning form and showing brilliant potential in November. The utterly superb nose jumps from the glass in a blaze of pear, lime, tangerine, a great base of chalky soil tones, a touch of lemongrass, citrus blossoms and a smoky topnote. On the palate the wine is pure, full-bodied and racy, with a rock solid core, an almost silky sense of elegance, great cut and grip and simply brilliant focus on the very long and nascently complex finish. A brilliant wine that will only want a bit of time in the cellar to fully unlock and share its secrets. (Drink between 2018-2050)
