The 2021 Bouchard Pere And Fils Beaune Premier Cru Clos de la Mousse is a refined Pinot Noir from the historic monopole vineyard owned exclusively by Bouchard Père & Fils in the heart of Beaune. The cooler 2021 vintage highlights freshness and elegance, with fragrant aromas of red cherry, raspberry and wild strawberry, complemented by delicate floral notes, gentle spice and subtle earthy undertones.
On the palate, it is medium-bodied with bright acidity, fine silky tannins and vibrant flavours of red berries, cranberry and savoury spice. Careful oak maturation adds texture and complexity without overshadowing the purity of the fruit, leading to a long, balanced finish with impressive finesse.
Ben's Recommendation: At Wine More Cellars, this is an excellent choice for those who appreciate elegant, terroir-driven Burgundy Pinot Noir. Enjoy alongside roast duck, herb-crusted lamb, mushroom risotto or charcuterie. Drinking beautifully now with a short decant, it will continue to develop gracefully through 2026–2038.
