Bouchard Pere & Fils Beaune 1er Cru Clos Saint Landry 2020
It is on the site of this remarkable vineyard that we find the oldest traces of the Chardonnay variety in Beaune. Quite a rarity in this Pinot Noir territory. Before it was given the appellation of Clos Saint-Landry, this vineyard appeared under the name of Tielandry, meaning the estate of a certain Landry. It then became the property of the abbey of Maizieres before the purchase by Antoine Philibert Joseph Bouchard in 1791. Since then Bouchard Pere & Fils has preciously kept the monopoly of this white Premier Cru of 1.98 hectares.
This rich and generous white Beaune has a full apricot aroma, but also touches of pineapple, flint and toast. Mouth-filling and fleshy, but with freshness that extends into every nook and cranny of your mouth. Excellent tension at the finish, thanks to the complex mineral and herbal notes. A 1.9 hectare monopoly site of the estate. Picked early in 2020 to preserve acidity. From organically grown grapes. 94 points James Suckling
A vaguely exotic nose reflects nose of white peach, apricot, orange peel and a pretty floral hint. The rich and relatively full-bodied flavours are also quite generous while displaying good verve on the youthfully austere and lemony finish. This is racier than it usually is and should repay a few years of keeping yet drink well early on. 88 - 91 points Allen Meadows
