Domaine Bouchard Pere & Fils - Beaune 1er Cru 'Greves Vigne de l'Enfant Jesus' - 2020

Outstanding. This one of the more floral-suffused wines in the range with its hints of violet, rose petal and lavender that add touch of elegance to the very ripe poached plum scents that presently lack a bit of freshness. There is verve and freshness on the palate of the dense, voluminous and punchy flavors that coat the palate with dry extract that also serves to buffer the firm tannins shaping the powerful, serious and mildly warm finale. Note that my predicted range offers the benefit of the doubt that the nose will recover better freshness. 90-93 Points Allen Meadows, Burghound
