About Clotilde Davenne 2018 Chablis Bougros, Grand Cru
Along with the wonderful range of wines Clotilde Davenne bottles from her estate holdings, she has access to fruit from premier and grand cru vineyards in Chablis grown by vignerons who work to her exacting specification. In her own vines, Clotilde is working as naturally as possible, without the use of chemicals, and almost all of her production is harvested by hand. In the cellar, all the wines undergo malolactic fermentation, a conscious decision by Clotilde, as she feels it brings greater complexity to the wines.”
This wine is from the Grand Cru Bougros Vineyard. located at the northwestern edge of the Grand Cru hillside. The wines made from this vineyard are quite rounded and less austere than those from the other Chablis Grand Cru climats. Solid but elegant, the wines made from this vineyard tend to be more accessible when young.
The vineyard covers about 37 acres (15ha) of slopes on the edge of the Serein river just east of Chablis town, with its vines planted in much-prized Kimmeridgian soil – an essential ingredient in the Chablis terroir. The Les preuses Grand Cru vineyard lies above Bougros on the hill, and the Fourchaume 1er Cru vineyard is just to the north.
The winemaking is carried out in stainless steel vats. The natural fermentations are controlled at low temperatures. Aging is carried out for 12 to 18 months on fine lees in stainless steel tanks before filtration and bottling.
The wine is very rich with good volume it is unctuous punctuated with notes of almonds, white flowers and smoke. A gourmet wine which is ample and balanced with a refined minerality that has aromas of seashells. The finish is long and flavorsome.
