Bouchard Pere et Fils, Nuits St. Georges, Les Cailles 2018

Received in Original Carton

94 Points James Suckling

This is attractive with floral character and notes of fresh cherries and blueberries. Some dried herbs, too. Medium-bodied. So polished, silky and seamless with chocolate-coated red fruit and a delicate finish.

93 Points Jasper Morris

Ripe bright purple, with a very sprightly bouquet, enlivened by some stems. Supremely elegant, purely floral, ripe but balanced, with a long graceful finish. Really well done, fine-boned even, with a lighter touch than is typical of the central zone of Nuits-St-Georges.

93+ Points William Kelley 

The 2018 Nuits-Saint-Georges 1er Cru Les Cailles is another success this year, mingling deep fruit tones of black raspberry, wild blueberry and plum with savory bass notes of grilled squab, burning embers and dark chocolate. On the palate, the wine is medium to full-bodied, velvety and layered, with beautifully refined tannins, ripe acids and a generous core of fruit.
