Bouchard Père & Fils Beaune Premier Cru "Les Grèves" 2019 - Beaune

Description

From a clay-limestone and sandy terroir at 230-250 m altitude on a 15% slope, this Beaune Premier Cru benefits from perfect balance for a Pinot Noir of great finesse. The vines are hand-harvested, carefully sorted and the vinification process includes cold maceration followed by 18 to 20 days of cuvaison with punching of the cap. The wine is aged for 16 to 20 months in French oak barrels, 35 to 40% of which are new. On tasting, it has a brilliant ruby color, a complex nose of ripe black and red fruit, spicy and woody notes with a hint of fresh leather. The palate is lively and structured, marked by silky tannins and a lingering finish with spicy accents. Serve between 17 and 18°C. A perfect accompaniment to roast pigeon with figs or roast veal with herbs. This seductive young wine will improve with several decades of cellaring, retaining its balance and delicacy.
