2009 Domaine Bouchard Pere et Fils, Beaune Premier Cru, Les Greves L’Enfant Jesus 1×1.5L

Vinous 90

Bright medium red. Cool aromas of cherry, menthol and minerals turned a bit oaky with air. Silky and round but juicy, with firm acidity and underlying minerality giving punch to the raspberry and mint. A step up in intensity and shape from the Clos de la Mousse, but in need of a few years to harmonize. [Stephen Tanzer, 01/03/2012]
