Domaine Bouchard Père & Fils, Le Corton Grand Cru; 6x75cl

🍷 Bouchard Père & Fils – Le Corton Grand Cru Domaine
France | Burgundy | Côte de Beaune | Corton Grand Cru | 100% Pinot Noir
Style: Still Red Wine
Winemaking: Traditional vinification with gentle extraction to preserve elegance, followed by ageing in French oak barrels (with a restrained use of new oak) to enhance texture and complexity
Farming: From Bouchard’s prized 3.55-hectare holding at the summit of the Corton hill, where thin soils, south-east exposure, and late ripening yield Pinot Noir of remarkable finesse and aromatic purity

🍒 A Grand Cru of altitude and elegance—ethereal, refined, and masterfully structured.

👁 In the Glass:
Brilliant ruby with garnet nuances—refined and luminous.

👃 On the Nose:
Aromatic and lifted. Notes of wild cherry, rose petal, redcurrant, and forest floor mingle with hints of white pepper, crushed stone, and subtle oak spice.

👅 On the Palate:
Silky yet firm. A graceful core of red berries and floral notes is wrapped in taut acidity and fine, chalky tannins. The structure is precise, the texture weightless, and the finish hauntingly long with mineral resonance.

🍽 Food Pairing:
Perfect with duck breast, roast pigeon, truffle risotto, or aged Comté. A wine that elevates refined, flavourful cuisine.

⏳ Ageing Potential:
Cellar for 10–20 years to reveal the full spectrum of its Grand Cru depth, elegance, and aromatic complexity.

✨ Why You’ll Love It:
Bouchard’s Le Corton defies expectations—light on its feet yet grounded in terroir. A Grand Cru Pinot Noir that speaks of altitude, patience, and the poetic beauty of Burgundy at its most sublime.
