Description
In a nutshell:
A Côte d'Or Burgundy that delivers honest pinot pleasure - think red fruits, a touch of earthiness
The lowdown:
A generous Pinot Noir with a joyous heart - think of a handful of ripe strawberries, a touch of forest floor, and a whiff of warming spice. It's a taste of the Côte d'Or, where this variety reigns supreme. The grapes ripen slowly, drawing character from the region's unique soils. The winemakers let the fruit shine, guiding the wine gently through fermentation and giving it a subtle kiss of oak. The result is something irresistibly vibrant. It has a backbone of earthy tannins but retains a playful, juicy charm that makes you crave another sip.
The Producer:
Bouchard Père et Fils is one of those names that echoes with history. Founded way back in 1731, they've witnessed centuries of Burgundy's evolution. Through savvy acquisitions during the French Revolution and beyond, they built up an enviable collection of prime vineyard sites. Think famous names like Beaune Grèves and Volnay Les Caillerets - the sort of hallowed ground that sets Burgundy lovers' hearts aflutter. While steeped in tradition, they don't rest on their laurels. They're one of the Côte d'Or's largest landowners, proving that size and quality can coexist. Their wines showcase that classic Burgundian tension between earthiness and elegance, with each village expressing its unique personality. This is a producer to explore if you want a taste of Burgundy's heritage with a focus on vineyard expression.
When to drink:
Light-bodied Pinot Noir perfect with a plate of pheasant with earthy mushrooms, or a creamy piece of ripe Brie.
Suitable for Vegetarians
