Vintage information 2006:

The reds: Impressive in the Côte de Nuits - almost 2005 quality. Côte de Beaune's are typically more reticent, many are fine, but it's better to test before you buy full cases. Quality spreads between good, sophisticated medium-term drinkers - tasty wines - and more structured medium-plus term wines from later bottlers - buy if you're happy with prices.
For Whites: there are plenty of overblown, flabby wines from later pickers, but the best straddle a divide between the rich 05s and the fresher 04s

2006 Bouchard Père et Fils, Beaune Grèves Vigne de l'Enfant JésusApr. 2008
A softer and redder nose. A narrow entry but it bursts across the palate with accessible ripe fruit – structure and complexity follow in the next wave. I think it follows the Bèze much more successfully in 2006 than it did in 2005. Super.
