2005 Bouchard Père et Fils, Chambolle-Musignytry to find this wine...
A négoce wine. Medium-plus cherry-red colour. The nose has decent width but better depth, but note that it has an appreciable oak base. In the mouth the concentration is almost good and there is plenty of tannin though it seems more wood than grape-driven. The length is good, but despite it being a decent enough and very drinkable effort, indeed a wine you may be happy to have in your cellar in 10 years time, I see this as well behind the better village cuvées from the 2005 vintage.
Rebuy – Maybe

PS Here’s a great article from Bertrand about Marc Grenier’s cooperage in Burgundy
