Bouchard Père & Fils Le Corton Rouge: The Côte de Beaune’s Only Red Grand Cru

The BOUCHARD PERE ET FILS LE CORTON ROUGE is a definitive statement in Pinot Noir, hailing from the prestigious ‘Le Corton’ climat-the historic parcel that gave the appellation its name. As the only red Grand Cru on the Côte de Beaune, this wine is a must-have for any serious collector, embodying power, structure, and immense aging potential.

Tasting Notes: A Masterpiece of Structure

• Color: Deep, intense ruby, hinting at the concentration of the fruit.
• Nose: An intense and complex bouquet featuring vibrant red and black fruits (cherry, blackcurrant), underlined by savory spice, forest floor, and a subtle, high-quality oak influence.
• Palate: Rich, concentrated, and beautifully structured. The tannins are firm yet refined, providing impressive volume and a seemingly endless finish. This is a wine built to age, rewarding patience with incredible depth and raciness.

Pairing & Serving Recommendations

This Grand Cru demands a pairing worthy of its status. Serve it slightly cool, between 63°F and 65°F (17°C-18°C). Decanting for 60-90 minutes is recommended when enjoying younger vintages.
