Bouchard Père and Fils Clos Vougeot Domaine 2015 An intense, vibrant red, offering an immediate impact of ripe, fresh cherry, POINTS strawberry, rose, spice and mineral flavors. Fruity, open and seamless, this 95 almost seems a bit too simple, yet continues to build in intensity to a long, pure and saturated aftertaste.

Bouchard Père and Fils Nuits-St.-Georges Les Cailles Domaine 2015 This is pure, with delicate cherry, raspberry, rose, graphite and stone flavors, POI95NTS aligned with a firm, well-integrated matrix of tannins. Persists on the lingering aftertaste. Elegant and sophisticated.

Bouchard Père and Fils Corton Le Corton Domaine 2015 Spice and smoke aromas and flavors frame the wild cherry and berry fruit in POI95NTS this linear, intense red. There is a savage quality here, even to the tannins, which will need some time to be absorbed. The lengthy aftertaste evokes chalk and underbrush notes.

Bouchard Père and Fils Volnay Caillerets Ancienne Cuvée Carnot Domaine 2015 Smoky cherry, spice and toast notes lead off in this firm and sinewy red, with POI95NTS black cherry, violet, blood orange and chalky mineral flavors underneath. This has terrific energy and fine length, just needs time to integrate.

Bouchard Père and Fils Grèves Vigne de l'Enfant Jésus 2015 Lush and vibrant, exuding cherry and blueberry flavors, this ripe red is inviting POI94NTS yet deceptive in terms of structure. The tannins are wrapped in flesh and fruit for now, but should provide support over the next 10 to 15 years.

Bouchard Père and Fils Beaune White Clos St.-Landry 2015 Rich and bursting with peach, apple and vanilla flavors. The oak is very discreet POI92NTS and overall this is harmonious and long. Offers a firm, chalky finish.

Bouchard Père and Fils Chambolle- 2015 Pretty aromas of violet, raspberry, cherry and incense introduce this elegant, POI92NTS finely wrought red, which has enough structure to develop, with harmony and a fresh, mouthwatering finish. Bruce Sanderson November 30, 2017

Bouchard Père and Fils Gevrey-Chambertin 2015 This is concentrated, with a supple texture and bracing acidity framing the cherry, POI92NTS strawberry and earth flavors. Has tension and energy on the lingering aftertaste.

Bouchard Père and Fils Beaune Clos de la Mousse 2015 Black cherry and plum notes permeate this dense red, made approachable POI92NTS thanks to a round profile and open texture. Should be better in a year or two, but the lush fruit makes this enjoyable now.

Bouchard Père and Fils Premier Cru 2015 A solid version, dense and saturated with black cherry, blackberry and earth POI92NTS flavors. Iron and stone elements work their way in.

Bouchard Père and Fils Santenay 2015 Macerated cherry, plum and earth flavors are backed by solid tannins in this POI91NTS red, which flirts with the fleshy side yet remains elegant, with plenty of fruit. Long, fresh finish.

Bouchard Père and Fils Savigny-lès-Beaune 2015 Cherry and berry notes tread softly in this gentle red. Approachable and nicely POI91NTS balanced, with enough grip to age for 10 years. Earth and mineral accents emerge on the long finish.

Bouchard Père and Fils Nuits-St.-Georges 2015 This is firm, with flesh and fruit for balance, but showing more structure today. POI91NTS Cherry, iron, earth and violet aromas and flavors stay saturated and fresh.

Bouchard Père and Fils Pommard 2015 Pure aromas and flavors of cherry, currant and rose are augmented by iron POI90NTS and earth accents in this red, which is supple and elegant, despite a layer of chalky tannins.

Bouchard Père and Fils Chassagne-Montrachet 2015 Ripe and fleshy, showing peach, apple and stone flavors. Lively, finishing POI90NTS crisply, echoing orchard fruit and light spice accents.
