Description
Dating to 1731, Bouchard P�re & Fils is one of the oldest properties in Burgundy. The wines of Santenay are typically earthy and quite full-bodied. This one is from a vintage in which the Pinot across Burgundy is displaying a notably rich and powerful character. In their evaluation of the vintage, Decanter called the 2015 reds '... wines for the long haul, with serious reserves of ripe tannins hidden behind their generous fruit: they will deserve patience ...'

Tasting Notes
To the delight (and relief) of consumers and producers alike, Burgundy's 2017 vintage was the largest harvest in the last 10 years. The reds are supple, charming and expressively fruit-driven and are characterized by their immediate approachability. This one from Bouchard has always been defined by the purity of its fruit, and in 2017 this characteristic will make for a truly stunning Santenay.
