Bouchard Père et Fils

1999 Bouchard Père et Fils Monthelie

By on February 28, 2003 #asides

This is a relatively new vineyard for BP&F which was purchased in 1996 from the Domaine Ropiteau. Medium red colour. Understated nose is higher toned. Less fat perhaps then the previous wine but pure medium intensity fruit. Tannins are well represented, but don’t get out of hand. I’d leave this for 2 or 3 years, I think it should be almost good.

2000 Bouchard Père et Fils Beaune du Château Blanc

An assemblage of 5 different parcels. Pale colour. The nose is very nice, a little citrussy with perhaps the merest whiff of aniseed. Piercing fruit and quite nice acidity. The finish is relatively short, but this is a lovely wine.

2000 Bouchard Père et Fils Meursault Les Clous

By on February 28, 2003 #asides

20% new oak used here, the vineyard is at the top of Meursault, lots of limestone in the vineyard. Again quite pale. Nose is ‘wider’ and a little deeper than the last wine. Fuller palate with a touch of fig fruit on the much longer finish, nice acidity too. Also a lovely wine.
