moderate opening, elegant and lasting long. fresh fruity notes, smooth texture, silky tannins, subtle earth, mushroom and savoury. I love its elegance.

red/dark berries, fresh and fragrant. linear and delicate palate, smooth and fine tannins, savoury, earthy notes. balanced but less weight and length than other three.

Monopole of Bouchard, thick layer of red clay is not a common soil type in Burgundy, bring more richness than most Beaune 1er crus.

obviously more complexity, density, length than other three. high acidity and heavy fine grained tannins, red/dark berries, some red and purple floral, subtle mineral notes. smooth texture, powerful and all balanced within a grand structure.

an awesome Gevrey-Chambertin, great vintage, flawless as 1er crus level.
