2023 Domaine Billaud-Simon Bougros Chablis Grand Cru

A Generous Vintage: The winter of 2023 was relatively mild, with a very dry February lasting five weeks without rain. Late March brought sub-zero temperatures (-4°C/25°F), but thankfully, this had no impact on the vineyards as the cold was dry. Alternating cool and milder spells in April delayed bud burst until around April 18th. From May onwards, temperatures gradually rose above seasonal averages, encouraging rapid flowering in early June. July was rather cold and marked by a succession of storms. The accumulated rainfall, combined with sunny weather and higher temperatures in August, resulted in good ripening conditions for the grapes.
A remarkably rich Grand Cru. The nose reveals intense mineral notes combined with aromas of candied fruits. The palate is rich and unctuous with notes of gingerbread. The structure is both firm and round. Elegant finish with lingering saline notes.
