Bouchard Pere et Fils, Beaune Clos Mousse other_regions As is usually the case

As is usually the case with Beaux Bruns this is not an elegant Chambolle but rather one of muscle and punch

and it needs a couple of years in bottle to digest the wood

which features a very strong note of cloves and smoke

This is really quite good but note well that it’s going to require plenty of cellar time first

This was also relatively reduced and impossible to evaluate

Bouchard Pere et Fils, Beaune Clos Mousse other_regions As is usually the case(a 3. 37 ha monopole of Bouchard that required seven generations for the family to acquire all of it). This is also markedly floral in character with its aromas of pretty red cherry, currant, earth and a discreet though not imperceptible dollop of wood. The lilting, vibrant and beautifully detailed lighter weight flavors possess a sublime texture that contrasts somewhat with a mildly sweet finish of average depth and persistence.
