One of Bouchard’s signature wines, this is a selection of fruit from different Beaune vineyards in the company’s domaine. It is big, ripe and soft, balancing these elements with rounded cantaloupe fruit and spice. The toast is a major factor at present, and the wine would benefit from 2 years aging. ——R.V.(10/1/2008)—— 91

This ripe, almond- and pear-flavored wine has a fine balancing structure of green fruit skins. It’s certainly rich, but it also has elegance, restraining its exuberance through the finishing acidity, which promises 5–7 years’ aging.——R.V.(8/1/2008)—— 92

A blend of premier cru vineyards, this wine is fresh, with plenty of lively white fruit flavors. But there’s enough richness there to balance the green flavors. Imported by Clicquot Inc. ——R.V.(9/1/2005)—— 88
