Somm Note

Winemaker Notes

Bouquet with fruit aromas mixed with light toasted notes. Fleshy and delicate at the same time, the Clos de la Mousse reveals itself with refinement.

Pairs well with white meats and grilled poultry.

    Tight and tannic with linear sensibility. Rich yet compact structure. Dark fruit with ripe strawberries and dark chocolate that carry on for minutes on the finish. Drink after 2022.

    This is elegant, succulent and packed with cherry and black currant fruit, wrapped in spice and toasty oak accents. It hints at floral and mineral elements too, as the long aftertaste winds down on the finish. It's solidly built and complex. Best from 2023 through 2036.

    The 2018 Beaune 1er Cru Clos de la Mousse has turned out beautifully, delivering a generous nose of plums, wild berries, orange rind and spices. Medium to full-bodied, round and fleshy, it's generous and gourmand, with an enveloping core of fruit, powdery tannins and an expansive finish. This will offer a broad drinking window.

    COMMENTARY: The Bouchard Père & Fils Beaune Clos de la Mousse is one of the winery's most consistent performers. The 2018 vintage is excellent. TASTING NOTES: This wine is bright, tart, and lasting. Enjoy its active red fruits and flavors with fresh salmon sashimi and avocado wrap in seaweed. (Tasted: March 3, 2020, San Francisco, CA)

Bouchard Pere & Fils, France
Bouchard Pere & Fils Winery Video

Established in 1731, Bouchard Père & Fils is one of the oldest and most diverse Estate in Burgundy with approximately 130 ha (320 acres) of vineyards, the majority of which are Premiers and Grands Crus. Highly sought after, their wines benefit from optimal ageing conditions in the underground cellars of the Château de Beaune, the former 15th century royal fortress that the Domaine has occupied since 1820. Bouchard Père & Fils doesn't make wines; they bring them into existence. Cultivation and vinification, on a plot-by-plot basis, are a form of craftmanship that they pride themselves on which has led to the utmost respect for their terroirs. Bouchard Père & Fils obtained the highest level of sustainable agricultural certification (HVE3) in 2015, being the first in the Côte d'Or to do so.

Thin-skinned, finicky and temperamental, Pinot Noir is also one of the most rewarding grapes to grow and remains a labor of love for some of the greatest vignerons in Burgundy. Fairly adaptable but highly reflective of the environment in which it is grown, Pinot Noir prefers a cool climate and requires low yields to achieve high quality. Outside of France, outstanding examples come from in Oregon, California and throughout specific locations in wine-producing world. Somm Secret—André Tchelistcheff, California’s most influential post-Prohibition winemaker decidedly stayed away from the grape, claiming “God made Cabernet. The Devil made Pinot Noir.”

While the city represents the epicenter of wine production in Burgundy, the term, “Beaune” also refers to the specific sub-appellation of the greater Côte de Beaune, whose vineyards climb up the pastoral slopes that border the city to its west. Originally founded as a Roman camp by Julius Caesar, the city of Beaune eventually became the seat of the dukes of Burgundy until the 13th century. Today it is home to top négociants such as Louis Jadot, Joseph Drouhin, Louis Latour, and Bouchard Père et Fils.

The appellation, dominated by Pinot Noir plantings, represents a lovely and charming place to begin to understand red Burgundy. Its sandy soils create light and supple, floral driven Pinot Noir. These wines are designed to be enjoyed within five to 10 years. The vineyards of Beaune span a broad swath of Premier Crus from Savigny-lès-Beaune to its border with Pommard.

Chardonnay acreage here has been increasing here in the more recent years.
