RATINGS

94Burghound.com

...huge dry extract levels and a long, powerful and explosive finish. An impressive built-to-age wine that is clearly worth a serious look.

93Wine Spectator

Dark and brooding, yet with pure black currant, black cherry, smoky oak and mineral aromas and flavors. Fresh and balanced, with a lingering aftertaste of spice and mineral.

93Stephen Tanzer

Subdued but pure and complex aromas of red fruits, coffee, orange peel, pepper and flowers. Supple, lush and deep, with superb inner-mouth perfume to the red fruit, mineral and incense flavors.

91The Wine Advocate

This site-typical Pinot exhibits impressive depth and saliva-inducing finishing savor, and while it may never be winsome or elegant, it is sufficiently structured, interesting, and viscerally compelling...

17Jancis Robinson

Rich and slightly malty. Pretty and lively. Well balanced. Good energy. Hint of umami! Very forward.

PRODUCER

Bouchard Pere et Fils

This Beaune-based domaine is one of the largest and most venerable in Burgundy. It was founded in 1731 by Michel Bouchard as a textile sales and distribution company. But twenty years later Michel’s son Joseph acquired vineyards in Volnay in the famous Les Caillerets climat and started producing wine. Over the centuries the family continued to acquire exceptional vineyards throughout the Côte d’Or. For nine generations the Bouchard family ran the estate, creating notable wines, and ran their own negociant business. In 1986 the Bouchards built a new state-of-the-art facility and in 1995 they sold the estate to the French Champagne house Joseph Henriot. With more than 300 acres of vineyards in various parts of Burgundy, Bouchard Pere et Fils produces Grand Crus, Premiers Crus and other wines. It makes red and white Burgundies and is especially well-known for Grand Cru Chardonnays.

REGION

France, Burgundy, Côte d'Or, Côte de Nuits, Vougeot, Clos de Vougeot

Clos de Vougeot is a walled vineyard that dominates the tiny commune of Vougeot in Burgundy’s Nuits-St.-Georges. The 124-acre Grand Cru vineyard includes a historic chateau that in 1945 was purchased by the Confrerie des Chevaliers du Tastevin, an organization devoted to promoting the traditions of Burgundy and its wines. The impressive chateau is the organization’s headquarters. Clos de Vougeot was established as a vineyard by Cistercian monks in the 12th century, then sold off to private owners after the French Revolution. The vineyard is unusual for a Grand Cru in that it includes land that runs down to the main road. The soil is light limestone with sand. Principal landowners are Chateau de la Tour, with 13 acres; Meo-Camuzet, 7.5 acres; Rebourseau, 5.5 acres; Louis Jadot, 5.3 acres; and Leroy, 5 acres.

TYPE

Red Wine, Pinot Noir, Grand Cru

This red wine is relatively light and can pair with a wide variety of foods. The grape prefers cooler climates and the wine is most often associated with Burgundy, Champagne and the U.S. west coast. Regional differences make it nearly as fickle as it is flexible.
