Bouchard Pere & Fils A Journey In Beaune 2018 (6x0.75L) Limited Edition

Beaune Rouge: This Beaune red comes from five parcels, located in the prolongation of the famous Clos des Mouches and above the Aigrots. The clay-limestone sub-soil, with a predominance of clay, well suits the Pinot Noir which expresses itself here with richness, softness and refinement. A delicate bouquet of red fruit combines with a pleasant touch of oak. Rich, tender and refined on the palate.

Beaune 1er Cru Les Avaux: The name of Les Avaux comes from the lieu-dit "Vaux". Its steep-sloped and clay-limestone sub-soil contributes to the racy elegance of this Premier Cru.

Beaune 1er Cru Les Teurons: "The 2018 Beaune 1er Cru Les Teurons exhibits aromas of ripe cherries, raspberries, licorice and spices, followed by a medium to full-bodied, velvety and layered palate that's deep and concentrated, amply endowed with ripe, fleshy fruit but nicely balanced, too. This is a sunny, warm site that's planted with old vines, and it has turned in a fine cuvée this year." - Wine Advocate 90-92pts

Beaune 1er Cru Les Marconnets: Bouchard Père & Fils has owned vineyards here since 1791 and today harvests from 2.32 hectares situated at the northernmost point of the territory of Beaune. The layers of grey, marly chalk give this Premier Cru distinction, character, elegance and bouquet. Fruit aromas combine with a musky note and a delicate oaky hint on the nose. Firm and well-built, this wine is both full-bodied and elegant, giving it all its personality. Good ageing potential.

Beaune 1er Cru Clos de la Mousse: "Tight and tannic with linear sensibility. Rich yet compact structure. Dark fruit with ripe strawberries and dark chocolate that carry on for minutes on the finish." - James Suckling 94pts

Grèves 1er Cru, Vigne de L'Enfant Jésus: "Excellent bright purple colour. The nose includes a healthy proportion of oak showing, though only 20% in fact. 20% whole bunch on the old vines which helps refresh the finish. This stretches out very well to the back of the palate and will refine with age. Good tension at the back." - Jasper Morris MW 92-95pts
