Pascal Bouchard 2011 Blanchot Grand Cru (Chablis)

Country: France / Blanchot Grand Cru
Variety: Chardonnay Burgundy
Winery: Pascal Bouchard / Chablis

From half an acre of vines within the Blanchot Grand Cru, this is a smooth, rounded wine. It has weight from intensely ripe fruits, along with structure. Beautifully sun-exposed vineyards add a warmth to the wine, but there’s also a mineral texture, nervy acidity and tart apple-skin and green-plum flavors. While concentrated, it’s still a young wine, so drink from 2017.
