Noticed that I have not tasted French red wine for ages.
This time chose from Alko Bouchard Bourgogne Pinot Noir (100 % Pinot Noir) which comes from Vineyard Bouchard Père & Fils.
Created in 1731, the Maison Bouchard Père & Fils has assembled, over several generations, one of the finest domaines in Burgundy. Moreover, installed since 1820 at the Château de Beaune, it benefits, on this site classed “Monument Historique”, from ideal natural conditions for leaving its precious bottles to age.
THE LOOK
Brilliant cherry red. Reminds of really dark rose or Beaujolais Nouveau.
THE NOSE
Red fruit aromas, cherry and kirsch. As wine is quite young aroma is also light.
THE TASTE
Obvious Pinot Noir, quite light with some acidity. Red berries, but again dark rose would not be far.
Facts and figures:
| Alcohol: | 12,5% by volume |
| Extract: | 23 g/l |
| Acidity: | 5,5 g/l |
| Energy: | 80 kcal/100 ml (330 kJ/100 ml) |
| Closure: | natural cork |
Bouchard Bourgogne Pinot Noir is suitable for almost every food because it is quite light for red wine. However, for red meat you might want to choose more full-bodied wine. As we had file or beef fried with butter and rosemary, wine was a little bit too thin. Can recommend this wine also as aperitif.
REVIEW: OVERALL GRADE 3,5/5 – BANG FOR THE BUCK ++ / +++
