Chablis Grand Cru Bougros "Côte Bouguerots" Domaine
Location
Appellation of 12.62 hectares at the western tip of the Côte des Grands Crus. With a very steep slope of more than 30%, this Bougros terroir benefits from a south-facing exposure at the foot of the hillside, maximizing solar radiation. The appellation produces complex and vigorous wines.
Terroir
A mix of clay and stones, over a shallow soil. This terroir structure naturally limits the vigor of the vines and, consequently, the yields of the plots. The plots cover 6.23 hectares, representing 49% of the total appellation, including 2.11 hectares in "Côte Bouguerots" with a due south exposure at the foot of the slope.
Winemaking
Application of the principle of gravity to avoid any pumping, which could alter the quality of the wine. Short-duration pneumatic pressing (1.5 to 2 hours) for a delicate separation between the solid and liquid parts of the grapes. The vinifications are carried out in stainless steel vats. Aging lasts 19 months, including 5 to 6 months on fine lees in French oak barrels for 40% of the blend. The aging process finishes in small stainless steel tanks.
Grapes

: 100 %
