Bouchard Père & Fils Beaune Grèves Vigne de l'Enfant Jésus 2005
Superb fruit and spice aromas with an oaky note. Intense, full and yet delicate on the palate, the wine has a charming velvetiness. Very good ageing potential. Wine Spectator Aromatic, with spicy oak marking the flavors. Underneath lies cherry, currant and raspberry notes, with a nod to mineral. Taut and lean, with a slightly chewy texture. Fine length. Best from 2012 through 2024. Score: 93. —Bruce Sanderson, May 31, 2008.Wine Advocate Such is Bouchard’s pride in their 2005 Beaune Greves Vigne de L’Enfant Jesus and the monopole in which it grew, that they presented this wine at the end of my tasting, following even the very tough (or rather, class) act of a Clos de Beze. Raspberry and strawberry preserves, wood smoke, and roasted meats dominate the nose and palate. There is no lack of stuffing, but also a silky texture and impressive refinement, leading to a satisfying finish that slights neither animal, mineral, nor fruit. Score: 90. —David Schildknecht, June 2007. All sizes are 750mL unless otherwise noted. |
