The 2012 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 red cherry, raspberry and red plum with dried flowers, forest floor, leather and subtle spice.
On the palate, it is refined and layered, with fresh acidity, resolved tannins and flavours of mature red fruit, savoury herbs and earthy spice. 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 savoury character. Enjoy now or over the next 4–6 years. Pair with roast quail, duck with mushroom jus, veal with wild mushrooms or truffle and porcini risotto.
