Renowned and respected as one of the finest producers in Burgundy, Bouchard Père et Fils has truly become an institution, known for the exceptional quality of their wines and the diversity of its many vineyards. Founded in 1731,  Bouchard Père et Fils has built up an estate of 130ha and, collectively, is the largest owner of Grand Crus (12ha) and Premier Crus (74ha) across the Côte d’Or Bouchard Père et Fils represents almost one hundred ‘climats’ or uniquely diverse vineyards, including prestigious monopoles such as ‘Beaune Grèves Vigne de l’Enfant Jésus’ and ‘Chevalier-Montrachet La Cabotte’.

A more deeply pitched nose features notes of poached plum, cassis and dark cherry. The appealingly textured middle weight flavors possess a refined mouthfeel thanks to the fine-grained tannins shaping the balanced, long and nicely complex finale. Note that this is sufficiently structured to reward a decade of keeping yet the mid-palate is supple enough to allow this to be approached on the younger side.

The 2020 Beaune 1er Cru Les Teurons bursts with aromas of cherries, wild berries, cassis and licorice. Medium to full-bodied, rich and ample, it's a fleshy, enveloping, textural wine that's generous and elegant. Date: Jan 2022; Rating: 91-93 Points; William Kelley; Robert Parker's The Wine Advocate
