Domaine Bernard Defaix Chablis Bougros Grand Cru 2023 Xpeng but the white stone fruit

but the white stone fruit and lemon citrus notes open with time in the glass

creating a web of youthful restraint as suggestions of mocha and clove slowly fade

The 2020 is 40% Cabernet Franc

Full-bodied with creamy tannins and a juicy finish

with a terrific sense of chalky minerality emerging with time in the glass

Domaine Bernard Defaix Chablis Bougros Grand Cru 2023 Xpeng but the white stone fruit91 93 Points Burghound, Allen Meadows Here too the wood treatment is moderate on the elegant white flower and citrus infused aromas that display classic Chablis scents, especially oyster shell. The textured and highly energetic larger bodied flavors exude a subtle minerality on the powerful, serious and built to age finish where a touch of bitter lemon slowly emerges. This mildly rustic effort is very Bougros in style and character.
