2021 Chablis Grand Cru Bougros, Daniel Dampt

Daniel Dampt and his sons have been buying pressed juice from this vineyard since 2008, and have now fine-tuned the wine-making, partly using oak barrels, partly a tank, for the fermentation and ageing. To achieve richly rounded volume in the mouth, while avoiding noticeable oakiness, the juice starts fermenting in tank, then is run into oak barrels, then back into tank after the secondary fermentation. It was bottled in August 2022, and is lemon-gold of medium depth, with opulently ripe aromas. Palate is full-bodied, harmonious, fresh and rich (for drinking 2024-2029+).
