By Bill Nanson
(Bouchard Père et Fils Beaune du Château) No-one has vines in more Beaune 1er Cru sites than BP&F, this Beaune du Château is a blend of up to 15 of these 1er Crus. The aim of the blend is to a certain extent, to iron vintage differences and come up with a consistent style - more of a Bordelaise philosophy. The wine itself is medium colour. Much more fruit on rounded nose, mainly high toned. The palate is not so 'sweet' as the Monthelie but the fruit is nicely defined. The tannins are of the large and very furry variety. A very serious wine then, which should be outstanding value vs most 1er Crus. This wine begs to be cellared, I would say a minimum 3 years. It should be very nice.3/1/2003, (See more on Burgundy-Report...)
