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.

Classic ABC!
ABC is always awesome.
Jim Clendenen was the man. I met him a few times , very nice guy. Hope his kids can keep it up.
Truly great wine! Amazing fruit, crisp tight acidity, and lovely creamy mineral texture. A bit young with lots of structure and oak that needs to integrate. In 10 years, probably stunning!
