Bouchard Père et Fils Beaune 1er Cru Les Teurons 2022 is a premier red wine from the heart of the Côte de Beaune in Burgundy, France.
The estate, Bouchard Père et Fils, has been based at the Château de Beaune for over two centuries and manages a prestigious mosaic of terroirs across Burgundy. The winery's philosophy balances tradition with modern innovation, utilizing a custom gravity-flow vat room located five metres underground to ensure the natural handling of fruit and must. This specific wine is a 'Domaine' bottling, meaning it is produced entirely from grapes grown on the house's own 2.4 hectare estate block within the chalky, steep sections of the Les Teurons vineyard.
Wine Description
This 2022 vintage displays a dark purple to garnet colour with a paler core. The nose is extroverted and complex, offering a 'berry explosion' of wild strawberries, black cherries, and ripe plum, accented by enchanting top notes of rose petals, kirsch, liquorice, and incense. On the palate, the wine is medium to full-bodied and surprisingly powerful, featuring a super-sleek texture and layers of raspberry compote and dark cherry. It is characterized by its terrific stony minerality, firm but fully ripe tannins, and an elegant, precise finish.
The wine is 100% Pinot Noir, sourced from east-facing vines grown in thin soils over limestone bedrock. To preserve its purity and freshness, the wine is matured in the estate's subterranean barrel cellars, which provide ideal natural conditions for a long maturation process. This 2022 release has an ABV of 15.0% and is crafted from organically grown grapes.
Food Pairing
The refined structure and savory profile of this Pinot Noir make it an ideal companion for game birds such as roasted duck or goose. It also pairs exceptionally well with grilled red meats, lamb with rosemary, and earthy dishes like wild mushroom risotto. For a cheese course, it complements soft and medium-aged French cheeses, including Brie or Epoisses.
Vintage Quality
The 2022 vintage in the Côte de Beaune is hailed as an outstanding benchmark, characterized by the warmest and driest conditions on record. Despite the heat, the wines maintained remarkable purity, freshness, and perfectly ripe tannins. Producers reported healthy yields and high-quality fruit, resulting in a balanced vintage that Jasper Morris MW suggests is a year to 'buy broadly' due to the consistent quality across all levels of production.
