Bouchard Pere et Fils Beaune du Chateau 1er Cru White Burgundy Chardonnay 2022 (France) Rated 93JS

James Suckling Review
Rated 93
Lovely aromas of white peach, ripe pear and white flowers with a discreet touch of lees complexity. However, the fine tannins and chalky character married to them provide an excellent counterpoint to that fruit. Bone-dry with a lovely chalky freshness at the finish. A cuvee from 5 different Beaune 1er Cru sites, matured in small oak barrels, of which just 15% were new. Drink or hold.
