Bouchard père et fils: 2009 Update (2007s)
Tasting 7th December, with Philippe Prost: 2008s – ‘The vintage takes its time…’ some generics were bottled before harvest. ‘Bouzeron, Rully, Montagny 1er is done as is villages Meursault, the 1er cru Meursaults will follow…’ ‘Top maturity could be found in the Côte de Beaune, a more classic… Read More
06 bouchard père et fils volnay 1er caillerets cuvée carnot
I may have criticised the last Bouchard (the Mercurey) for it’s relative (versus quality) value, and here is a wine that has more than doubled in price since the 2002 vintage, yet despite being unhappy about that, there is something innate and worth paying for in a good Volnay… Read More
07 bouchard père et fils mercurey
To be honest I think pricing is getting too high for such things. Basic Mercurey should not be significantly more expensive than a well-made regional wine – say plus 25% – this was double the cost of many regionals. It is intrinsically a very nice wine but my instinct tells… Read More
bouchard père et fils 2005 chablis bougros
You may remember that one of my trio of William Fevres (yesterday) was corked. Of-course that put a momentary panic into the supply situation and I grabbed this from the cellar and put it in the freezer for that quick chill. Just a little later I remembered that I had… Read More
1997 le corton bouchard père et fils
Bouchard Père et Fils Le Corton Bought way back in 2000 when Sotheby’s had a sale of old Bouchard Père vintages, for what I thought a bargain at £170 direct for BP&F. In storage since then, here is it’s first outing – time to see if it was really a… Read More

2002 meursault 1er perrières bouchard père et fils
Meursault 1er Perrières Bouchard Père et Fils I was ‘pushed’ to try this following reports from another place that this cuvée was starting to show signs of p.ox – that would be a real shame because, from day 1, it’s been a wonderful wine – and it would also… Read More
2006 bouchard père et fils beaune 1er du château
Bouchard Père et Fils Beaune 1er du ChâteauI sometimes have problems to appreciate this cuvée when released – for example I found the 2001 angular and lacking balance – I wouldn’t have recommended it, yet a few years later it was super – so, assuming it wasn’t an errant bottle,… Read More
2005 bouchard père et fils, chambolle-musigny
2005 Bouchard Père et Fils, Chambolle-Musigny 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… Read More
