Other Reviews....
Pale green-tinged yellow. Wonderfully expressive, pungent, classic Kimmeridgian nose offers scents of lime, grilled almond and iodiney minerality. Round, plush and seamless on the palate, with its juicy citrus fruit and ginger flavors lifted by minerality. This silky, sedate, rich wine has no corners and seems almost too easy and expressive today for grand cru. But it also has the stuffing and balance to age, and a finishing element of brown spices provides lift.

Stephen Tanzer - Vinous

The 2016 Chablis Grand Cru Bougros has a very attractive bouquet in the making: apple blossom, linden, wet limestone and touches of pear emerging from the glass, all with fine delineation. The palate is well balanced with fine acidity. It is taut and linear but there is fine depth here and a touch of salinity toward the finish that lingers in the mouth. Excellent.

Neal Martin - Wine Advocate #232 (Sep 2017)

Quite restrained on the nose, and the palate seems quiet too. There is some saline character on the finish, and appropriate green-apple fruit, but not much in terms of complexity and breadth. Compared to their Montée de Tonnerre, this seems pretty straightforward at present.
