Tasting Notes

A powerful dark colour on the more sombre side. This is a stern and muscular Beaune Grèves with dark fruit, some blacker notes which this vineyard can manage. Long and powerful with the black cherries taking charge. I do not find this over-extracted, just a baby waiting to develop, with some minerality offering further encouragement for a good long term outcome. Drink from 2027-2035. Tasted: September 2023.

The 2019 Beaune-Grèves Vigne de l'Enfant Jésus 1er Cru is tasted from jeroboam. It has an attractive nose with brambly red fruit that becomes darker with aeration; touches of blackberry and damp undergrowth/autumn leaves emerge with time. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannins and good structure, lightly spiced with white pepper. It's sapid toward the finish. This shows good potential.

Score: 91

The 2019 Beaune Les Grèves Vigne de L'Enfant Jesus 1er Cru has by far the best aromatics of Bouchard’s somewhat awkward Beaune Premier Crus, delivering bright red berry fruit, crushed stone and final delineation. The palate is medium-bodied with lithe tannins, and quite peppery on the entry, but shows more freshness and terroir expression compared to Les Tuerons or the Clos de la Mousse. Excellent.  

Score: 91 - 93

The 2019 Beaune 1er Cru Les Grèves Vigne de l'Enfant Jesus is showing beautifully, bursting from the glass with scents of raspberries, warm spices, plums and incense. Medium to full-bodied, sumptuous and enveloping, with an ample core of fruit and supple, melting tannins, it's immensely charming and gourmand. I can't remember an Enfant Jesus that tasted so good, so young.

William Kelley, Wine Advocate, RobertParker.com Maturity: 2022-2050 30 September 2021

A markedly floral-suffused nose blends red and dark currant scents with those of a plethora of spice and earth elements. There is impressive volume to the caressing but solidly punchy and powerful middle weight plus flavors that possess better depth and superb length. Excellent and very much built-to-age.
