2010 Bouchard Pere et Fils Beaune Greves L'Enfant Jesus 1er Cru

The name of this wine refers to an old story about a nun that predicted the birth of the king of France, Louis XIV, although his mother, Anne of Austria was sterile. After this birth of the future "Roi Soleil" this exceptional vineyard became known as the Vigne de L'Enfant Jesus or as I like to call it "baby Jesus", this is a monopole of the Domaine since 1791. Exotic spices, toasty oak spice on the nose with wild strawberry and raspberry coulis like fruit on the nose, pretty floral notes and notes of fresh earth showing through all the spice and fruit. Wow this wine is very big with bright cherry and wild strawberry fruit and firm tannins right now this wine is showing the elegance and finesse on the nose but the palate is still unevolved, all of the top level wines from this outstanding vintage are going to need some time.
