I rarely bring notes on the generic pinot from the big houses. But the Pinot Noir reserve 2012 from Bouchard deserves a mention. Firstly its important to understand … this is a wine made in very large quantities i.e. several 100.000 bottles … and the price is very low. The 2012 is nevertheless showing true Burgundy character … the fruit is quite pure and there is a nice little expression of terroir – reminds me of a small Pernand Vergelesses. The nose is quite attactive and its drinking well with a nice freshness and weight for this level. Not for collectors but I would happily drink a glass of this wine to a light lunch or dinner.
