The 2010 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 red cherry, raspberry and red plum with dried flowers, forest floor, subtle leather and earthy spice.
On the palate, it is medium-bodied and finely structured, with fresh acidity, resolved tannins and layers of red fruit, dried herbs and savoury earth. 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 drinkers seeking mature Pinot Noir with developed savoury character. Enjoy now or over the next 4–5 years. Pair with roast quail, duck with lentils, veal with mushroom jus or wild mushroom tart.
