I tasted it when Tim Atkin brought it along to the International Wine Challenge one morning: he&#8217;d opened it the previous evening, and as it was one of his favourite Chilean whites he wanted to share it. I&#8217;m glad he did, because it is remarkable. Semillon is a grape that deserves more attention, and Chile needs to be making more wines like these.<\/p>\n<p><strong>J Bouchon Granito Semillon 2016 Maule, Chile<\/strong><br \/>\nThis is from 70 year old vines close to the ocean, grown in granitic soils in Maule. Intense, nutty and waxy with lemony fruit. Very precise and mineral with a hint of wax and herbs. This has such a long lemony finish. Real intensity and focus here, with great complexity. Profound stuff. 94\/100<\/p>\n<p>Find this wine with <a href=\"http:\/\/www.wine-searcher.com\/index.lml?referring_site=WAN\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">wine-searcher.com<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This is a remarkable wine.
