  (Bouchard Père et Fils Beaune du Château) Last tried almost 3 years ago and it was very ‘awkward’. Medium ruby-red colour. Softly sweet red nose - primary but pretty. Medium weight, nicely transparent and with good acidity. This is altogether quite a charmer today - shame I held of more purchases as it’s all gone now!

  (Bouchard Père et Fils Beaune du Château) Always a relative bargain this wine - assuming that it's a good one of course: Medium cherry-red colour. The nose is faintly powdery and a little closed when cold from the cellar. The palate shows a linear delivery of tight fruit with good intensity but little fat. Very good acidity and a slight creamy impression to the medium finish. The tannin is still a little astringent but becomes softer and friendlier with aeration. I won't return for at least 3 years, serious wine for the price.
