The 2003 Bouchard Père & Fils Beaune Premier Cru Clos de la Mousse is a mature Burgundy Pinot Noir from a historic Premier Cru vineyard in Beaune. The nose shows dried cherry, raspberry and red plum with dried flowers, earthy spice, leather and subtle savoury notes.
On the palate, it is medium-bodied and layered, with balanced acidity, mature tannins and flavours of red fruit, dried herbs and earthy spice. The extended bottle age brings a developed, savoury character and a long, dry finish.
Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is an excellent choice for Burgundy drinkers seeking mature Pinot Noir with classic bottle-aged complexity. Best enjoyed now or over the next 2–3 years. Pair with roast quail, duck with lentils, veal with mushroom jus or wild mushroom tart.
