2008 Le Corton, Grand Cru, Domaine Bouchard Père & Fils

19p/Gault-Millau. Top 10 til kælderen/Guide Bettane. 94p/eRobertParker: "Amazing value ikke kun for Grand Cru, men for en vin af denne kaliber". 19p/20 -Gault-Millau, 92-95p/Burgound: "Don't miss", 16,5p/le Classement. Bouchard Père er det fineste hus med exceptionel vin fra det største private domæne på Côte d'Or. I 1909 købte Bouchard 60% af selve le Corton (6,93 hkt), hvoraf den bedste del i dag leverer denne vin, der er en af de ypperste vine fra Bourgogne. Maupassant kaldte le Corton "Kongen" i sin legendariske "Bel Ami". Det forstås! "Generous but not dominant wood intrudes upon the very ripe plum, cassis and floral aromas lead to extremely rich, opulent and palate drenching broad-scaled flavors that possess more dry extract than any wine, wrapped in a balanced, long and ultra serious finish. Note the suggested drinking window date and I'm not completely convinced that is necessarily long enough. 2013-20" -Burghound. Om 2006: 93p/WineEnthusiast. 91-94p/Spectator, 93p/Burghound "Don't Miss".
