Bouchard Pere & Fils Beaune 1er Cru Clos Saint-Landry 2017 (RP: 91)

酒莊於1731年由Michel Bouchard於布蒙(Beaune)成立，可說是布爾岡其中一家歷史最悠久的葡萄酒莊。為了在Côte d'Or建立一個非凡的酒莊，他們於19世紀及20世紀初，收購了不少優秀的村莊。如今酒莊坐擁130公頃的葡萄園，12個特級園(Grand Cru)，74個一級園(Premier Cru)。
在一級園 Clos Saint-Landry中，可以找到伯恩（Beaune）最古老的Chardonnay，對於這個以Pinot Noir為主的產區，實屬稀罕。
他們的酒窖亦值得一提。1820年Bernard Bouchard買入了Chateau de Beaune，這是一座由路易十一在15世紀興建的堡壘，深入地下10米，其濕度和溫度提供了理想的陳年環境。

Tasting Notes:
(Robert Parker's rating: 91 points)
The 2017 Beaune 1er Cru Clos Saint-Landry Blanc offers up an inviting bouquet of fresh pear, yellow orchard fruit, drawn butter and freshly cut herbs. On the palate, the wine is medium to full-bodied, ample and enveloping, with a fleshy core of succulent fruit and a generous, open-knit but nicely delineated profile.
