jamessuckling.com, August 2020

Sweet apples and pears with some stone and flint on the nose. Full-bodied with tight, focused phenolics that frame the wine nicely and then layers of fruit and lively acidity. Nicely crafted and composed. Drinkable now...

Wine Enthusiast, December 2020

Cooling, mossy chalkiness plays on this wine's nose, despite the heat of 2018. The palate then displays juicy roundness in the form of ripe, yellow pear pervading chalky depth. Rich lemon-peel notes create contour and add...

Jasper Morris Inside Burgundy, May 2019

View From The Cellar, November 2019

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, July 2020

Wine Spectator, December 2020

Peach, apple and lanolin aromas and flavors are the hallmarks of this white. Vivid and mouthwatering, it leaves a chalky feel on the finish. Best from 2021 through 2028. – BS

On the nose, this Chablis Bougros Grand Cru offers a sophisticated aromatic constellation that is both enticing and alluring.

The rock-solid core of this wine is complemented by exceptional cut and grip, creating a mouthfeel that is both powerful and refined. The finish is remarkably long, complete, and promising, leaving a lasting impression on the palate.
