2022  

100% Pinot Noir.

Colour: Dark ruby red dress.

Nose: Very fruity nose with aromas of raspberry, cherry and strawberry with a hint of liquorice.

Palate: A charming and well-structured wine in the mouth, revealing fine woody notes, a nice balance and peppery notes.

A great wine to enhance quality poultry, a piece of beef or grilled pork ribs. Spring rolls, such as exotic, spicy dishes will also perfectly accompany the wine's peppery and fruity notes.

Serve ideally at a temperature of 14° to 16°C (57-60°F).

A worthy representative of the great red Burgundies that can easily be kept for 5 to 8 years in good storage conditions.

Located in Beaune, the capital of Burgundy's great wines, the "Pavillon Bouchard", also known as the "Hôtel du Conseiller", still houses the Bouchard Ainé & Fils cellars and for generations has embodied the values of quality, elegance and prestige in the making and ageing of great wines, such as this Grande Réserve cuvée made from Pinot Noir grapes harvested from selected Côte de Beaune vineyards.

The Côte de Beaune-Villages appellation covers 14 communes: Ladoix, Pernand-Vergelesses, Chorey-lès-Beaune, Savigny-lès-Beaune, Monthélie, Auxey-Duresses, Saint-Romain, Meursault, Blagny, Puligny-Montrachet, Chassagne-Montrachet, Saint-Aubin, Santenay and Maranges. For red wines, these communes may choose to produce wine under their own appellation name or under the Côte de Beaune-Villages appellation. The vines are grown on light stony soils, brown limestone and marly limestone, on varied and often steep slopes, facing south and south-west, at altitudes of 240-400 metres.

The grapes were hand harvested and sorted at their arrival at the winery. Maceration and alcoholic fermentation lasted  3 weeks in wooden vats. The juices were then placed in barrels for a part (60%) and in tank for the other part for a 14 months ageing period. The resulting wines were then blended together to get this Grande Réserve cuvée showing a perfect balance between fine wood, body and fruit.

2022 brought uncertain conditions, but was finally mild throughout the season!

The harvest took place from around 25 August to 16 September.

The grapes were beautifully healthy, with varying degrees of ripeness depending on the exposure, giving balanced and honest white wines. Maturing ought to bring just the right degree of roundness to red wines with varying qualities, depending on the maturity of each plot.

2022 is a pleasant vintage in terms of quality with good yields, for both whites and reds. The vinification choices have been crucial as to whether to favour acidity or the alcoholic degree.
