NORMANDIE WINE WAREHOUSE

 

Beaune Du Chateau

 

Premier Cru

 

Bouchard Père et Fils

 

Cépages/Grape Varieties: Pinot Noir

 

Created in 1907, this appellation is a blend of different Premier Crus which can vary from one vintage to the next.  The advantage is that this allows quality to be more or less consistent.  Since Bouchard were taken over by the Champagne house Henriot, the standard of winemaking has improved enormously, and it really shows in this typically classy red Burgundy.  There is good fruit here, and an impressive length, and it can be drunk now, although it will not suffer from a further few years cellaring.

 

Créée en 1907, l’appellation Beaune du Château rassemble plusiers premiers crus du Domaine assembles dans des proportions différentes d’une année à l’autre.  Cette originalité préserves la mention prestigieuse de Premier Cru, tout en maintenant un caractere qualitatif régulier pour chaque millésime
