Domaine Bouchard Pere & Fils - Beaune 1er Cru 'Marconnets' Rouge - 2022

Here too the nose is cool and elegant with its array of black cherry and raspberry trimmed in anise and violet hints. There is excellent punch to the even more mineral-driven medium-bodied flavors that possess a succulent mid-palate that contrasts with the moderately austere, firm and serious finale. This always needs at least some patience and 2022 will not be any different. Excellent. 91-93 Points, Outstanding Allen Meadows, Burghound
