Wine Spectator

Bruce Sanderson

This has a high-toned edge to the currant, wild cherry and underbrush notes. Firm tannins heighten the austerity as this finishes with a dusty, chalky feel. It offers pretty fruit, so be patient. Best from 2019 through 2030. 100 cases imported.

James Suckling

Extremely aromatic with crushed-berry and spice character. Medium body, pretty density and depth, fine tannins and an immaculate finish. Focused and lively. Drink now or hold.

Jancis Robinson

45% new oak. Healthy, deep ruby. Cleaner nose than the BP&F Côte de Beaune wines. Attractively fruity nose with just a hint of toast. Refined tannins and good, ripe, slightly soft fruit. This somehow tastes rather worked instead of a pure expression of the vineyard. (JR)

Bettane+Desseauve

Here, the name “cailles” refers more to the limestone and eoliths contained in the soils than to the delicious game bird of the same name. The Maison owns one-third of the 3 hectares of this very gently sloping plot, from which this powerful, concentrated wine derives, with floral notes of violet and dark fruit, a considerable mid-palate, yet very Vosne-like in its velvety, silky touch, though slightly alcoholic. A wine that does honor to this exceptional climat and to the physical and qualitative proximity of Saint-Georges.

Description

An elegant Nuits-Saint-Georges Premier Cru with a beautiful aromatic richness

The estate

Founded in 1731 in Beaune, Bouchard Père & Fils is one of the oldest estates in Burgundy. For nearly 3 centuries, 9 generations have succeeded one another with the ambition of creating an exceptional estate in Burgundy.

Patiently built up over the years, the vineyards of the Bouchard Père et Fils estate currently spread across 130 hectares of vines. Combining prestigious appellations with exceptional plots of land, the Bouchard Père & Fils vineyard enjoys a unique wine heritage.

The vineyard

The Bouchard Père & Fils "Les Cailles" Domaine 2014 is a Nuits-Saint-Georges 1er cru wine that stems from a 1.08-hectare vineyard located in the southern part of the eponymous commune. Remarkable for the elegance of its wines, this east/south-east facing terroir rests on limestone soil.

Vinification and ageing

Once the grapes have been harvested by hand and sorted, the grapes are partially or totally destemmed, depending on the vintage. Alcoholic fermentation takes place in small containers with gentle pressing. Vatting for 12 to 15 days depending on the vintage. The wine is aged for 10 to 18 months in French oak barrels (60 to 85% of which are new) in the Bastion cellars of the old Château de Beaune.

The blend

Pinot Noir (100%).
