Bouchard Pere & Fils, one of Burgundy's oldest wine estates, has been producing exceptional wines since 1731. The Beaune du Chateau Premier Cru Rouge is a testament to their expertise, crafted from a blend of Pinot Noir grapes sourced from several premier cru vineyards in the Beaune appellation. This wine showcases the elegance and complexity typical of Burgundy reds, with a meticulous winemaking process that includes fermentation in temperature-controlled vats and aging in French oak barrels, imparting subtle oak nuances. The wine exhibits a vibrant bouquet of red berries, cherries, and earthy undertones, complemented by a balanced acidity and fine tannin structure. It pairs beautifully with roasted duck, mushroom dishes, and soft cheeses.

This admirable premier cru red is a blend of all of the domaine parcels in Beaune premier cru - a whopping 17 different terroirs covering 26ha, each vinified separately, with an average 20% whole-cluster and ageing in 20% new casks. There is a lovely, dark, plummy fruit on the nose with a bit of spice and smoke. The texture is silky and supple, with decent acidity, even if it lacks a bit of density on the mid-palate. A well-balanced, classical example of Beaune premier cru.
