Bouchard Beaune 1er Cru Du Chateau Rouge 2020
The Wine
Bouchard Père & Fils has been producing the Beaune du Château cuvée, an exclusivity of the House, since 1907. This wine, which is a blend of 17 Premier Cru vineyards vinified separately, demonstrates the different facets of the terroir of Beaune. A dark garnet colour 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.
88-90 Pts Jasper Morris, MW Inside Burgundy 'Very dark black purple, this is soft and luscious with blackberry and blueberry notes, not too much tannin, nor too much acidity. Tasted Nov 2021.'
89-91 Pt Burghound, Allen Meadows 'There is touch of mocha to the mostly purple fruit and warm earth scented nose. The almost lavishly rich and opulent middle weight flavors possess a suave and round flavor that, somewhat curiously given the richness, concludes in a youthfully austere finale.'
