Bouchard Pere & Fils A Journey In Beaune 2019 (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: "This too is quite ripe (though not roasted) with its nose of plum, cassis and a similar note of mocha. Once again there is a lovely sense of verve to the sappy and rich medium-bodied flavors that possess a slightly finer texture while delivering excellent length on the balanced and somewhat firmer finale. Lovely." - Allen Meadows 90-93pts

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: "This shows spice, earth and rust character with some chocolate. It’s medium-bodied with roundness and freshness. Yet, there’s decadence and meatiness at the end." - James Suckling 94pts

Grèves 1er Cru, Vigne de L'Enfant Jésus: "– What a fragrant nose of flowers, cherries, licorice and delicate spice! Very elegant and lacy on the medium-bodied palate with breathtaking integration of fine fruit and fine tannins. Super-silky, long finish that’s very sensual." - James Suckling 96pts
