The 2008 Bouchard Père & Fils Beaune-Grèves Vigne de l'Enfant Jésus Premier Cru is a mature Premier Cru Pinot Noir from Beaune, Burgundy. The nose shows dried cherry, raspberry and red plum with violet, dried flowers, forest floor, leather and subtle spice.
On the palate, it is refined and layered, with balanced acidity, resolved tannins and flavours of mature red fruit, earthy spice and savoury herbs. Extended bottle age adds depth and complexity, leading to a long, dry and persistent finish.
Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is an excellent choice for Burgundy collectors seeking a mature Beaune Premier Cru with developed character. Enjoy now or over the next 3–5 years. Pair with roast quail, duck with mushroom jus, veal with wild mushrooms or truffle and porcini risotto.
