REMAINING STOCK: Bouchard Pere & Fils Beaune du Chateau Premier Cru 2020 (750 ml)

Yields of merely 20 hectoliters per hectare have delivered a 2020 Beaune 1er Cru du Château of unusual presence and concentration, wafting from the glass with aromas of cherries, sweet berries, rose petals and spices. Medium to full-bodied, ample and velvety, it’s deep and layered, with lively acids and powdery tannins. Readers who have walked Beaune’s hillsides and know the extent of Bouchard’s holdings will realize how much prime terroir goes into this remarkably accessible bottling.
