Bouchard Pere & Fils Beaune du Chateau Premier Cru Rouge 2020

Bouchard Pere & Fils Beaune du Chateau Premier Cru Rouge 2020
Pinot Noir from Beaune, Cote de Beaune, Cote d’Or, Burgundy, France

Nice dark garnet color with brown to mauve shades. Complex bouquet associating perfumes of jammy red fruit, fig, peony with a hint of chocolate. Harmonious and deep palate, with a beautiful maturity and dense but fine tannins. An attractive wine.

  This admirable premier cru red is a blend of all of the domaine parcels in Beaune premier cru – a whopping 17 different terroirs covering 26ha, each vinified separately, with an average 20% whole-cluster and ageing in 20% new casks. There is a lovely, dark, plummy fruit on the nose with a bit of spice and smoke. The texture is silky and supple, with decent acidity, even if it lacks a bit of density on the mid-palate. A well-balanced, classical example of Beaune premier cru…

• Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate
  Yields of merely 20 hectoliters per hectare have delivered a 2020 Beaune 1er Cru du Château of unusual presence and concentration, wafting from the glass with aromas of cherries, sweet berries, rose petals and spices. Medium to full-bodied, ample and velvety, it’s deep and layered, with lively acids and powdery tannins. Readers who have walked Beaune’s hillsides and know the extent of Bouchard’s holdings will realize how much prime terroir goes into this remarkably accessible bottling
