Bouchard Pere et Fils, Beaune Greves Vigne l’Enfant Jesus 1999

By -

The Beaune Greves Vigne de l’Enfant Jesus 1999 is still slightly closed and backward. The nose is showing dark and red berry fruit – dense sweet and ripe – with a nice earthy minerality and beginning complexity .. sous-bois and a slight hint of truffle peel. On the palate rich and quite dark with a somewhat dense expression. Lacking a bit of nerve and is in my view slighly high on the alcohol … or at least showing to much alcohol presenly. The development in the glass doesn’t really indicate 10 years more in the cellar – but think it will improve over the next years. Yes it’s big and dense … but prefer the higher quality and style of the recent vintages – not a bad wine though!
