About this product
Bouchard's extraordinary 3.6-hectare monopole in Beaune Grèves — one of Burgundy's most beloved premier cru monopoles. Old-vine Pinot Noir of exceptional concentration: deep ruby, violets, dark cherry, and sandalwood. The wine's silky but firm structure and seamless texture represent Beaune premier cru at its most compelling. Requires 8-12 years' aging for full expression.

Bouchard Vigne de l'Enfant Jésus has a signature cherry and sandalwood character that finds precise resonance with roasted pigeon — one of Burgundy's great game bird pairings. The wine's silky Pinot tannin supports the pigeon's richness without overwhelming; cherry reduction amplifies the wine's primary fruit character; celeriac provides earthy sweetness that bridges wine and meat. A pairing of extraordinary Beaune elegance.

A regional pairing of Burgundy's most iconic wine-cheese combination.
