Bouchard Pere & Fils 'Beaune Clos De La Mousse' Premier Cru Monopole 2022

Bouchard Père & Fils 'Beaune Clos De La Mousse' Premier Cru Monopole 2022 is an exceptional Premier Cru red Burgundy sourced entirely from a historic 3.36-hectare walled vineyard owned exclusively by Bouchard Père & Fils since 1826. In the glass, it displays a bright garnet color with crimson reflections. The nose opens with vibrant aromas of ripe raspberries, wild strawberries, and red plums, complexed by dry forest floor, hazelnut, and delicate oak spice notes. On the palate, it is medium-bodied, velvety, and beautifully concentrated, offering a core of generous fruit supported by polished, fine-grained tannins and a balanced acidity that leads into a long, silky, and harmonious finish.

Food Pairing: Pairs wonderfully with roasted duck breast, pan-seared pork tenderloin, grilled lamb chops, wild mushroom risotto, and medium-aged French cheeses like Comté or Brie.

This aromatic red evokes sandalwood, juniper, tomato leaf, incense and ripe cherry and currant flavors. Lithe and linear, with a firm line of acidity and tannins driving the persistent finish. Shows lovely harmony and a gossamer texture. Drink now through 2040.
