The estate and the wine |
|
|
Founded in 1731, Bouchard Père et Fils has built one of the most impressive vineyard portfolios in all of Burgundy, acquiring the finest and best-located parcels across the region over the centuries.
Clos Vougeot, Chevalier-Montrachet, Bonnes-Mares, Beaune Grèves Vigne de l'Enfant Jésus, Pommard, Meursault, and Chambolle-Musigny are among its most famous and coveted crus. |
|
| | |
|
The 2017 Red Chambolle-Musigny shows lovely intensity and ripe maturity, with a delicate, understated style that's immediately appealing. Subtle hints of forest floor add depth to this refined Pinot Noir, which is already in a perfect drinking window. It’s beautifully balanced, with fine tannins and a restrained touch of oak, finishing with elegant notes of rose and cherry. A charming wine to enjoy over the next three years. |
