    May 3, 2024 - Been holding this btl for a long time! Was nervous when I cut the foil, as there appeared to a small amount of seepage. The cork opened with a pop and the wine was pretty much a rockstar after 25 years. mature fruit and smooth tannins, nice acidity and long finish. Glad I opened it when I did but a good example of a fully mature burgundy.

    November 19, 2023 - Medium body. Browning brick colored robe. Dark blue fruits on the nose and palate. An interesting combination of game flavors and sweet fruit. But the depth of the fruit has subsided quite a bit as has the acidity and structure, although there are very faint drying tannins on the finish. Very nice on entry and then the flavors disappear quickly into the mid palate, so the complexity is rather weak. Smooth and balanced, a bit fat / lacking acidity.

    October 4, 2023 - Robe évoluée.Le bouquet est réellement fantastique avec des effluves "orientales" un peu exotiques,des senteurs de fruits noirs (cassis,mûre) un côté grillé reliquat de l'élevage bref c'est bien complee et d'une intensité virevoltante.La bouche a du mal à être à niveau cela reste bien bon mais tout un peu moins...moins de complexité,plus de rusticité ce qui atténue la note finale.Une belle quille néanmoins

Burgundy-Report

    (Bouchard Père et Fils Beaune Grèves Vigne de l’Enfant Jésus) The colour is not fading a jot. The nose has a wide layer of high-toned fruit that covers a few bready notes and a tight core of fruit that bodes well for the future. The fruit is a little riper and plumper than the 2001 but the tannins are a little less fine. This is super wine and has the same personality as the 2001, but it's dressed in jeans whereas the 2001 is dressed for dinner. The nose just grows and grows so decant if you're going to drink now.

    (Bouchard Père et Fils Beaune Grèves Vigne de l’Enfant Jésus) This vineyard is at the the centre of Les Grèves. Originally gifted to the Carmelite order it took its name at that time. Confiscated from the church during the revolution, the Bouchards were able to purchase the vineyard when it was subsequently sold by the state in 1791. This is perhaps the most renowned of the BP&F vineyards. The nose is reticent, but sweet black cherry fruit comes through. Whilst the tannin is still evident, this has a much silkier feel than the last wine. Good acidity, a wine with lots of flesh too. The finish lasts well. A really lovely wine.
