The Verget Chablis Bougros 1998 is a distinguished Grand Cru Chardonnay from the Bougros vineyard in Chablis, crafted by the renowned négociant Verget. This 1998 vintage, now over 25 years old, displays a deep amber-gold hue and a complex nose of ripe apple, honey, and truffle, with pronounced chalky minerality and hints of oxidative notes from extended aging. On the palate, it is rich and concentrated, with a creamy texture, vibrant acidity, and a long, saline finish. A combination of stainless steel and oak aging ensures a balance of richness and precision, showcasing Verget’s mastery of Chablis terroir. Perfect with lobster, creamy sauces, or aged cheeses, this wine offers a luxurious dining experience. At its peak, it is a collector’s gem, demonstrating the remarkable longevity of Chablis Grand Cru and Verget’s ability to craft wines of exceptional depth and character.
