The 2019 Chablis Grand Cru Bougros Côte Bouguerots is brilliant, unwinding in the glass with notes of warm bread, crisp orchard fruit, beeswax and oyster shell. Full-bodied, layered and multidimensional, it's deep and concentrated, with huge reserves of chalky structure and an incisive spine of acidity. It concludes with a finish of almost disconcerting intensity. Again, this is a very tightly wound young wine, cropped at only 29 hectoliters per hectare, and it will require and reward patience.

The 2019 Chablis Les Bouguerots Grand Cru has a fragrant nose of grassy meadow mixed with Granny Smith apple, plus a touch of green olive and artichoke. The palate is well balanced with a waxy-textured opening. One of Laroche’s most phenolic 2019 Chablis. This will need 4–5 years to really open.
