Belle texture, indeniablement, c‘est élégant, arrondi, soyeux, très Beaune séduisant et raffiné· Néanmoins je m’ennuie rapidement car la gamme aromatique fanée, sur les epices et le sous-bois, sueur de cheval, manque cruellement de fraicheur, de fruit, de vie. Il est tombé dans le tertiaire/automnal sans garder ni griotte ni cerise, perdant en gourmandise et en charme: en fait il ne pinote guère plus, frustrant ! Bouteille fatiguée? Possible. En tout cas je ne le vois pas aller jusqu’en 2030 …

Coravin, a sample before dinner to see if it matches.
Very smooth, berries and seductive. Two hours later more complexity adult and grip. Excellent! Choose to save it for later as it would not match with Mufflon naked potatoes and sardell. (SQN Dark Blosson did the job)
Drink now, keep 15-17, aerate for 90 min. Great!

(Bouchard Père et Fils Beaune 1er Cru Grèves Vigne de L'Enfant Jesus) Dark ruby color; sous bois, oak, sweet green chilie nose; tight, silky textured, tart cherry, sous bois, mineral, green herb palate; medium-plus finish 89+ points (not as appealing as this bottling usually is, probably due to the high whole cluster inclusion in '09)

Finished the bottle!
Still great, aerated for 2h to reach 15C. 17 is best.
Lovely, full fruit of Wild dark berries, earthy, salinity. Smooth tannins and acidity makes it juicy.
Quality and also easy to like.
Matched with chicken, cream, pasta with some dry tomatoes n basil on top.

Touch of brown in the colour. Smells clean, warm, hint of florals and spice.
Mature, but not old. Perfect time to drink.
14%, cork.

Plus sur la puissance que l’élégance mais quelle classe et qu’elle longueur. Encore des belles années devant lui !
