*******/Gault-Millau (7 af 7 om hus, "Mytisk").
Bouchard Père er et af de ypperste navne
i Bourgogne, som leverer exceptionnel vin
fra største private domæne på Côte d'Or,
150 hkt, halvdelen 1.Cru og Grand Cru.
I 1909 købte Bouchard 60% af selve
le Corton -knap 7 hkt. I dag ejes 3,25 hkt
i bedste del af Charlemagne, som leverer
en af Verdens bedste tørre hvidvine.
"Faktisk et fund sammenlignet med Grand Cru'erne
længere sydpå. Bestemt værd at investere i..." -WineAdvocate.
96p/eRobertParker: "A striking and intensely pungent aroma of holly berry,
fresh ginger, and lime zest leads to a vivacious, silken-textured,
chalky, saline, crustacean palate. For all of this wineÆs sheer intensity
and palpable sense of underlying extract, it shares lift, buoyancy, and
overall elegance with its Chevalier-Montrachet counterparts and preserves
the energy and primary, juicy refreshment that goes with its vintage.
The diversity and persistence of mineral elements here are memorable.
ItÆs the hundredth anniversary of this Bouchard parcel (characterized
by all-day luminosity), and a happy birthday indeed! Those lucky enough
to acquire some of this should anticipate more than a decade of pleasure,
but I would estimate that re-visiting the wine in 2-3 years would
be rewarding both sensually and in terms of estimating its further evolution".
Om 2006: 94-97p/Tanzer: "Knockout nose"...
96p/Burghound "Don't Miss".
