Bouchard Pere et Fils Beaune Du Chateau 1er Cru 2019

Bouchard Pere et Fils Beaune Du Chateau 1er Cru 2019 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. Critical Acclaim 92 James Suckling An excellent introduction to the red wines of Beaune, this has full red-fruit and earthy character with hints of spicy oak and licorice. A crowd-pleasing balance of generosity and moderately dry tannins on the palate with good length. Should age well. 91 Wine Spectator This red offers a mix of fruit and savory elements, with cherry and plum flavors mingling with earth, sandalwood and vegetal notes. Broad, with a well-integrated structure, fresh acidity and a mineral essence lingering on the aftertaste. Best from 2026 through 2042.
