2009 Bouchard Père et Fils Beaune 1er Cru Beaune du Château Blanc 88 Points
France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Beaune 1er Cru
Nose with yellow apple, some citrus, some mineral. Powerful palate with apple, some of them baked apples, spice, balancing acidity, mineral in the aftertaste. Ready to drink now, a bit of hot climate style (probably due to the vintage), 88 p.

2009 Bouchard Père et Fils Meursault 1er Cru Les Genevrières Domaine 90 Points
France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Meursault 1er Cru
Nose with some yellow apple, a hint of citrus, noticeable minerality, discrete flowery notes, a slightly oily impression. Palate with citrus, mineral, high acidity, slightly spicy aftertaste. Rather ready to drink. Not as "marked by the hot vintage" other than in its approachability. 90 p.

2006 Hospices de Beaune Volnay 1er Cru Santenots Cuvée Jéhan de Massol Bouchard Père et Fils 89 Points
France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Volnay 1er Cru
Nose with strawberries, slightly flowery, discrete spice. Palate with strawberries, good concentration, sweetness of fruit in the attack, noticeable spice, some tannin (some of them probably from the oak), aftertaste with sweet strawberries and slightly dry tannins. Approachable, could develop more, 89(+) p.
Better and more balanced than I expected, since Hospice wines (and in particular those from "lighter" appellations) risk being overoaked since they almost always are sold in new oak barrels.
