2010 Bouchard Père et Fils Beaune 1er Cru Beaune du Château Blanc 87 Points
France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Beaune 1er Cru
The wine is a blend of 5 plots
Clean in the nose, dense, not delicate with awkard green notes, hazelnut scented butter, youthful.
The wine is dry, medium body and acidity, ripe fruit, medium weight in the palate, crunchy and I could say almost tannic, med aftertaste.
Very good quality although somewhat disjointed, premium price, needs a bit time but I think it will come around

nothing wrong with it, nothing good about it too, uninspiring wine for a Meursault lover
