Domaine Bouchard Pere & Fils - Beaune du Chateau 1er Cru Rouge - 2021

Subtle but not invisible wood sets off ripe and fresh aromas of various dark berries, spice and a whiff of earth. Here too there is fine volume and richness to the generous and seductive, even velvet-textured, flavors that offer very good length if only average depth, though that of course should improve with a few years of keeping. 89-91 Points Allen Meadows, Burghound
