Description / Reviews

"The 2022 edition of Bouchard's Beaune du Château is deeply coloured and redolent of ripe blackberry and plum fruit with hints of earth, smoke, and spice. The great purity of the fruit aromas is allied with a seductive sweetness on the palate that leads to a firm, tannic structure and a lingering finish. The grapes are blended from 17 different premier cru climats in Beaune; roughly one-third are fermented as whole clusters, and the wine is ageing now in cask (one-third new) — altogether delightful." - 93 Points, Charles Curtis MW, Decanter

"Attractive youthful nose of red fruits with delicate earthy undertones. Then comes the generous medium- to full-bodied palate where there's a beautiful interplay of ample healthy tannins and restrained richness, cherry pit and licorice flavors wrapped around a solid core at the finish. A cuvee of wines from most of the domaine's holdings in 17 Beaune 1er Cru sites that was created in 1907. From organically grown grapes. Drink or hold." - 92 Points, James Suckling
