Beaune Vigne de l'Enfant Jésus Bouchard 2021 — a graceful Premier Cru from Bouchard's famed monopole.
From Bouchard Père & Fils, the historic Beaune house, this red comes from the celebrated "Vigne de l'Enfant Jésus" — a monopole within the Beaune Premier Cru. A silky, perfumed Pinot Noir of finesse and charm.
An enticing bouquet of red fruits — black cherry and raspberry — with hints of spice, earth and a touch of floral character. Medium to full-bodied and elegant, with red cherry and raspberry over a silky texture, soft tannins and a long, lingering finish.
