2018 Bouchard Beaune 1er Cru Teurons

Parker's Wine Advocate

In stock

A classic Beaune from one of the area's most highly regarded sites. Teurons borders the famous vineyards of Greves and Sur Les Greves, where the southeast-facing slope of free-draining, limestone soils produce small berries and bright flavour with plenty of positive acid and tannin structure. This Teurons has the charm, complexity and age-worthy foundation of some Grand Cru wines...at a fraction of the price. A staff favourite!

$84.99 in mixed 6+ or $94.99 per bottle

Its Origins

Today the Burgundian wine domaine of Bouchard Pere et Fils can trace its origins back to 1731, though it is no longer family owned. In 1995 the Champagne house Joseph Henriot acquired the company and quality has risen as a consequence. Bouchard is led by Stéphane Follin Arbelet, while the wines are made by Philippe Prost - who has been with the company since 1978. An impressive gravity-flow winery on the Route de Savigny, the Cuvérie St Vincent, was completed in 2005 and enables them to process all their wines with optimum efficiency. Bouchard’s total holdings comprise 130 hectares, including 12ha of grand crus and 74ha of premier crus, which makes them the largest vineyard owners in the Côte d’Or.

What The Critics Say

90-92/100 Parker's Wine Advocate, William Kelley

"(The 2018 Beaune 1er Cru Les Teurons exhibits aromas of ripe cherries, raspberries, licorice and spices, followed by a medium to full-bodied, velvety and layered palate that's deep and concentrated, amply endowed with ripe, fleshy fruit but nicely balanced, too. This is a sunny, warm site that's planted with old vines, and it has turned in a fine cuvée this year. — Bouchard's Frédéric Weber was demonstrably satisfied with his 2018 portfolio, and he has every reason to be. Ripe but controlled, this is a very consistent range of fleshy but structured reds—which readers might think of as a more rounded version of the 2005 vintage."
