Bouchard Pere & Fils Montrachet Grand Cru 2020 Vintage plums and tart strawberry

plums and tart strawberry

floral pastille and smoky bacon flavours that become deeper and spicier as the wine opens up

with dense yet refined tannins for support

with tangy acids that lend it a vibrant

This is like a spring mountain river full of Riesling rolling over crushed slate

Bouchard Pere & Fils Montrachet Grand Cru 2020 Vintage plums and tart strawberryVery impressive nose of Amalfi lemon, bergamot, tarte a l'orange and wild herbs. Very ripe and rich, but with a massive structure beneath all the richness. Built on a huge scale, but with excellent freshness. So much chalky power, and this makes it feel like a huge wave is pouring over you. So precisely balanced, with great minerality at the bold finish. From an 0. 89 hectare plot. From organically grown grapes. Stuart Pigott for James Suckling
