Bouchard Père & Fils
Founded in 1731, Bouchard is one of the most long-standing and important producers in Burgundy. Since their founding, they have been assembling a collection of some of the best Cote d'Or vineyards, including 12 Grand Crus and no less than 74 1er Crus.
With more prestige and history than most, Vinous's Neal Martin has praised them in the past because their wines are "well priced compared to others". As a grower, producer and negociant, it is undeniable that Bouchard Père et Fils has played a significant role in the history of Burgundy but they have now shed their negociant tag as their new owner Artémis Domaines, who also own the likes of Château Latour and now Eisele Vineyard in Napa, have a policy of wishing only to make wines from vineyards which they own.

Blackberry, black currant, violet, licorice and tar aromas and flavors signal this dense red. Fresh and firmly structured, with a taut finish. Shows fine purity and elegance. Best from 2016 through 2025.Inc. GSTSG$2,754.34 -

The Cistercians planted white grape vines here as far back as the 13th century, and curiously, they planted Pinot Noir all around it. As usual, it seems they knew what they were doing as this wine is always a delight. It's unusually deeply colored – almost golden, especially for a Beaune, yet it is vibrantly elegant with tingly acidity and delicate aromas. Tasting of Granny Smith apple and star fruit with a dollop of fresh cream, this turns lightly salty on the solid finish. 2022-27Inc. GSTSG$751.53 -
Vinous (90-92)
The 2021 Beaune Clos de la Mousse 1er Cru comes from vines on a flat, dense clay soil, that are among the last to be picked. The wine has plenty of dark berry, cold black tea and light sea spray scents on the nose. The palate is medium-bodied with supple, plush tannins that lend this rondeur, harmonious with a sweet, almost candied finish. This will be more approachable than the Les Teurons, though it does not possess the same complexity.Inc. GSTSG$744.99 -

Fragrant cherry and redcurrant fruit – easy and generous and rich, with well-managed oak smokiness on the palate and length. Very nicely done.Inc. GSTSG$668.67 -

The 2021 Beaune du Château 1er Cru is delineated yet backward and a bit sultry on the nose despite coaxing. The palate is medium-bodied with finely-chiselled, pliant tannins. Not the most complex Beaune in the "box", yet approachable, quite pure with a judicious sprinkling of white pepper on the finish.Inc. GSTSG$502.93 -

Bright, dark red. Ripe aromas of dark berries, plum and licorice. Supple and broad on entry, then quite dry in the middle, offering redcurrant and plum fruit flavors joined by a complicating spicy quality on the back end. The chewy tannins are going to require patience. The yield here was just 12 hectoliters per hectare, "my smallest ever for this cuvée," according to Weber.Inc. GSTSG$855.56 -

(bottled in February of 2017): Deep red-ruby. Very ripe aromas of kirsch, leather, coffee and chocolate; as at so many other addresses, this first sample tasted after Bouchard's range of 2016s struck me as somewhat roasted in its fruit character. Very rich yet sappy, showing the solidity of a very warm year; quite large-scaled (14% alcohol!) for this cuvée, offering highly concentrated flavors of red berries, dark cherry and chocolate. A rather extreme style yet nicely aromatic in the middle palate (Bouchard tries to keep this wine open for restaurants, noted Weber). Finishes with soft tannins and very good length.Inc.
