The 2009 Bouchard Père & Fils Échezeaux Grand Cru is a mature Burgundy Pinot Noir from one of the Côte de Nuits’ renowned Grand Cru vineyards. The nose shows dried cherry, raspberry and plum with violet, leather, forest floor and subtle spice developed through bottle age.
On the palate, it is structured and layered, with balanced acidity, resolved tannins and flavours of red fruit, dried herbs, earthy spice and gentle savoury character. The mature profile leads to a long, dry and persistent finish.
Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is an excellent choice for Burgundy collectors seeking mature Grand Cru Pinot Noir with developed complexity. Best enjoyed now or over the next 3–5 years. Pair with roast squab, venison with juniper, duck with mushroom jus or truffle and porcini risotto.
