Bouchard Pere & Fils, Beaune 1er Cru Les Marconnets Domaine (Ex Dom release 2024) 2008 (1.5L)

"With a greater sense of structure than possessed by most other Bouchard Beaune crus of its vintage, their 2008 Beaune Marconnets is nonetheless very fine-grained. Ripe purple plum tinged with fresh ginger and chalk; a Latakia tobacco-like smokiness; and an intensely bright finish to which the sense of chewing fruit skins lends invigoration all make for a vibrant performance that should be replicable from the bottle for a decade or more. " – Wine Advocate

"Medicinal cherry on the reticent nose. This is all spine today, with strong acidity and serious tannic backbone currently keeping the flavors of black cherry, flint and licorice under wraps. Plenty of energy here but this will need time to unwind." – Vinous
