Bouchard Père & Fils 2018 Beaune du Château Rouge Premier Cru

Burgundy Pinot Noirs are among the most prestigious and expensive wines in the world. But a bottle such as this makes fine Burgundy a bit more available to the average consumer. Bouchard is a large enterprise with significant holdings and access to many fine sites. The Premier Cru designation means that the grapes were sourced from vineyards certified as among the best in Burgundy. This immediately enjoyable wine tips its hat to New World-style, fruit-driven Pinot without sacrificing the depth, texture and elegance of Burgundy. There's a seam of mushroom around pretty pomegranate, blood orange and raspberry fruit, with polished and subtle tannins. Drink now to 2035. 13%; $55
