96pts James Suckling

What a fragrant nose of flowers, cherries, licorice and delicate spice! Very elegant and lacy on the medium-bodied palate with breathtaking integration of fine fruit and fine tannins. Super-silky, long finish that’s very sensual. Drink or hold.

94pts Wine Spectator

Though taut and reticent in its aromas and flavors, this red builds on the palate to a long finish. Black cherry and sandalwood notes are the main themes, while toasty oak and a graphite element linger on the aftertaste. This feels like a thoroughbred ready to run.

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.

COMMENTARY: The 2019 Bouchard Père Fils Beaune Grèves l'Enfant Jesus is bright, racy, and delicious. TASTING NOTES: This wine shows attractive aromas and flavors of ripe fruit, oak, and a hint of dried leaves. Pair it with grilled salmon. (Tasted: June 14, 2021, San Francisco, CA)

Winemaker Notes

Superb fruit and spice aromas with an oaky note on the nose. Intense, full and yet delicate on the palate, the wine has a charming velvetiness.

Ideal pairings for this wine include game birds, fattened chicken in cream sauce, or Burgundian cheeses.
