2022 Au Bon Climat Nuits-Blanches au Bouge

This was in our most recent shipment from ABC. We received some excellent financial news today so figured what the hell.

The nose is Burgundy to the point that I would guess this wrong in a blind tasting. It really has that unmistakable vanilla scent that only 1er and Grand Crus tend to have.

The rest is just a harmonious blend of minerality, freshness, and creamy oak. The oak is incredibly well integrated and the zippiness and acid of the fruit still shines through.

This is like Corton Charlemagne and the very best of SBC cool climate Chard had a baby.
