Beaune 1er Cru "Boucherottes" is an aromatic, full bodied wine of considerable structure and complexity tempered by a rich fruit roundness and plump, sumptuous texture. This wine has a beautiful cherry colour and is surprising on the palate with good suppleness. The vineyard borders the famous vineyard of Pommard, which gives it strong fruity characteristics.
Louis Jadot, founded in 1859, is one of the most important n?gociants to consider when purchasing the wines of Burgundy. The firm produces an amazing number of cuvees each year, which range from generic Bourgogne as well as Beaujolais, right up to top of the class examples from a number of Grand Cru vineyards including Bonnes Mares, Clos de B?ze and Chapelle-Chambertin, to name just three..
The 2010 Beaune 1er Cru Les Boucherottes has a warm, open, generous nose with hints of warm bricks infusing the red berry fruit. The palate is smooth and silky on the entry. It is a fleshier than I expected with a well-defined finish: an approachable Beaune, but one that will age well over the next decade. Drink now-2018.
Good full red. Sappy aromas of redcurrant, tobacco, mocha and menthol, complicated by sexy earth notes. Suave and fine-grained, with enticing inner-mouth perfume to the redcurrant, cherry and stone flavors. Finishes with fine, sweet tannins, solid structure and excellent length. Expressive, energetic Beaune wine with excellent potential. -- Stephen Tanze
Pale ruby. Pale rim. Very open and a bit lacking in focus. Extraordinarily fruity on the palate. Pretty but difficult to see any use racing over this. Slightly bitter cough-sweet flavour on the finish.
Issue: May 31, 2008. A full, fleshy style, featuring red and black cherry notes, with a vibrant structure. Ripe and ample, it's elements should fold together nicely in three to four years. Nice lingering finish. Best from 2012 through 2022. 200 cases imported. ?BS.
