Bouchard Beaune 1er Cru Les Teurons 2005
The Wine
94 Pts Andy Howard, Decanter 'Bouchard started acquiring land in Teurons in 1791, completing the process in 1869. Not the heaviest or showiest of the wines tasted, this is precise and restrained. Still needs a little longer to reach its peak. Oak a little more evident. Attractive wild strawberry and blackberry fruit. Plenty of concentration with a freshness and vibrancy. A very fine example of the merits of 2005'
91 Pts 'Outstanding' Allen Meadows, Burghound 'A completely different nose is present as the concentrated fruit aromas are quite ripe but somber and reserved with a deft touch of wood lurking in the background, leading to rich, full and borderline robust flavors that are obviously structured yet the very firm tannins are buried beneath an impressive amount of mid-palate sève. A serious Beaune built to last at least two decades.
