Tasting of Bouchard Père Premier and Grand Cru Wines (Beaune, France): Clear light ruby center. Loads of soil and wintergreen. Medium weight, round soil base. Complex already, not at all fruit driven, but it shares that citrus peel twist with other reds tasted today. Long soil finish with the tannins catching up and providing more grip at the end. Given that, it is surprising that is showing so well at present. Exceptionally elegant, refined version of Clos Vougeot.

Celebrating 240 years of Bouchard Pere & Fils: master class and dinner (Bouchard Pere & Fils, Beaune): Funny, illustrious fellow tasters - let us begin with Michel Bettane for example - preferred the Clos de Beze to this. But I really liked the Clos Vougeot in 2014. Fermented in 50% whole cluster and aged in 40% new oak, this wine comes across with loads of grip, fine ripeness and finesse. Really a lovely overall expression with the energy of the vintage matched by concentration.
