Bouchard Aîné & Fils Wines

Sort By:

Bouchard Aîné & Fils 2005 Pinot Noir (Echézeaux)

The fruit bursts out of the glass, while the supporting tannins give power and intensity to this concentrated wine. It has all the richness of 2005, backed with juicy red fruits and some vibrant acidity. Age this wine, although its generous character means you could drink it in 5 years. Not available in the U.S. — R.V. (8/1/2008)

Bouchard Aîné & Fils 2004 Pinot Noir (Echézeaux)

Price $113

Powerful and intense, with flavors of licorice, truffle and red fruits, this is a solid, concentrated wine with plenty of potential for aging. It shows the pedigree of its vineyard in the richness of the fruit as well as its structure, which leaves both freshness and dryness on the finish. — R.V. (3/1/2007)

Bouchard Aîné & Fils 2005 Pinot Noir (Clos de la Roche)

Price $93

Wines from Morey-Saint-Denis should be opulent in 2005, and this wine has opulence in spades. It fills the mouth with rich red plums, red cherries and some cranberry juice to give an edge of dryness. Maybe complexity is edged out by all this juicy fruit, but the tannins do firm up the wine, which should certainly age 10 years or more. — R.V. (8/1/2008)

Bouchard Aîné & Fils 2004 Pinot Noir (Clos de la Roche)

Price $93

A wine from the Grand Cru Clos de la Roche in Morey-Saint-Denis, this is big, rounded, packed with cherry and balancing wood flavors. It has power and generosity. It also packs quite a firm tannin edge, which promises some good aging. — R.V. (3/1/2007)

Bouchard Aîné & Fils 1999 Clos du Roi Pinot Noir (Beaune)

Editors' Choice

Price $30

There's plenty of fat fruit from the over-45-year-old vines that are the source for this premier cru red Burgundy. Round, with a velvety mouthfeel, the wine shows fine depth and dimension, with black-cherry, plum, licorice and toast aromas and flavors. Full and flavorful, it closes with cocoa notes, good length and fine, well-dispersed tannins. Can drink now… — W.E. (11/15/2001)

Bouchard Aîné & Fils 2005 Les Charmots Premier Cru Pinot Noir (Pommard)

Price $66

Pommard suits the Bouchard Aîné style. The tannins and the power, forced by the dry core, are a house signature. That said, the ripeness of 2005 also plays a part in this opulent wine. The dryness comes through more obviously, but that suggests some aging ability. — R.V. (8/1/2008)

Bouchard Aîné & Fils 2004 Les Cras Pinot Noir (Chambolle-Musigny)

Price $47

Les Cras is a tiny, six-acre vineyard in Chambolle-Musigny. This wine from Bouchard Aîné has great fresh fruit flavors, a softness and charm that is all Chambolle. There are tannins, certainly, but they are tucked underneath the dominant fruit. — R.V. (3/1/2007)

Bouchard Aîné & Fils 2005 Les Chaboeufs Premier Cru Pinot Noir (Nuits-St.-Georges)

Price $73

Proper Nuits-St.-Georges, all dry tannins powering through the dark cherry fruit flavors, and balanced with tasty acidity. There’s great potential here, the ripe fruits just showing their intensity, but for the moment, the tannins are the core. — R.V. (8/1/2008)
