Tasting notes
Pure aromas of crushed strawberries and citrus follow through to a medium body, silky tannins and a tangy finish. Bright and fruity. Vibrant energy. Drink or hold.

More reviews and scores
(50% domain plus 50% purchased grapes from vines located close to Bouchard's parcel): Bright red-ruby. Chocolatey dark cherry, mocha, leather and licorice aromas are leavened by a cool menthol quality and a whiff of flowers. Sweet, fat and rather soft, but with spice and menthol notes and sound mineral-driven acidity giving shape to the middle palate. Not complex or delineated enough for a higher score but round and nicely concentrated, finishing with ripe tannins and very good length. I marginally prefer this to the village Nuits.
