2020 Bouchard Beaune 1er Cru Teurons

93 Points 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!

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

91-93/100 Parker's Wine Advocate, William Kelley

"The 2020 Beaune 1er Cru Les Teurons bursts with aromas of cherries, wild berries, cassis and licorice. Medium to full-bodied, rich and ample, it's a fleshy, enveloping, textural wine that's generous and elegant."

92/100 Decanter, Charles Curtis MW

"The domaine-owned parcel here is 2.3ha in size on pure limestone soil, facing due east. This is among the most early-ripening parcels. The grapes produced a wine with super-ripe aromas of red and black fruit, with a pronounced saline/mineral edge and a prominent floral tone. The texture is round and full-bodied, with somewhat assertive tannins that will help the wine to age gracefully for 10-15 years." Drink 2023 - 2040

90-92/100 Burghound, Allen Meadows

"A more deeply pitched nose features notes of poached plum, cassis and dark cherry. The appealingly textured middle weight flavors possess a refined mouthfeel thanks to the fine-grained tannins shaping the balanced, long and nicely complex finale. Note that this is sufficiently structured to reward a decade of keeping yet the mid-palate is supple enough to allow this to be approached on the younger side." Drink 2030+
