2001 Bouchard Beaune Greves Enfant Jesus

Healthy dark red. Coolish, vibrant aromas and flavors of black cherry and stony minerality. Juicy and penetrating, offering lovely definition and energy in the mouth. Finishes with surprisingly supple tannins and excellent length. Current Bouchard winemaker Frederic Weber told me that he was still at wine school in Dijon in 2001 but that he has a clear memory of the big hail storm at the beginning of August, which was especially damaging to Volnay and Meursault. 90 points
