The other monopole for Bouchard, the 1.98ha site was purchased by Antoine Bouchard in 1791 and is a very rare white Beaune Premier Cru. From the warmer, abundant 2018 vintage, stone fruit and exotic notes abound, with a generous, mouthfilling style on the palate. Weighty and warming, with spice characters coming through, there is still plenty of freshness as a result of Bouchard's early-picking, allied to a short-fermentation at cool temperatures. 15% new oak with ageing on fine lees in the barrel, no lees-stirring.
