General Information
The century-old winery Bouchard Père & Fils crafted Bouchard Père & Fils Gevrey-Chambertin Village 2020, a brilliant single-varietal pinot noir with the same dedication and care used in their premiers and grands crus that have made the brand renowned worldwide.
With a powerful nose and great aging potential, this red wine originates in the heart of the Côte de Nuits, specifically in Gevrey-Chambertin, the same commune from which mythical wines of Bouchard Père & Fils such as the legendary Chambertin-Clos de Bèze Grand Cru, revered by none other than Napoleon Bonaparte, hail. Drawing on its nine generations of winemaking tradition and nearly three centuries of history, it created this Bouchard Père & Fils Gevrey-Chambertin Village 2020, a more accessible pinot noir but of exceptional quality, particularly exquisite to pair with all kinds of red meats, whether roasted or stewed, and aged, full-bodied cheeses.
Tasting notes
Intense and perfumed nose with fruity aromas and an animal note.
Pleasant structure and fleshiness on the palate with good aging potential.
