Beaune Du Château 1er Cru Rouge Bouchard Père Et Fils, 2022

Beaune Du Château 1er Cru Rouge 2022 from Bouchard Père & Fils is a fine example of Premier Cru Burgundy, bringing together elegance, depth, and a distinctly Beaune character. Known for its refined structure and classic Pinot Noir profile, it reflects both the pedigree of the appellation and the long history of one of Burgundy’s most respected producers.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, this wine typically shows a bright ruby-red color with attractive freshness and finesse. The nose is lifted and expressive, with red cherry, raspberry, and redcurrant notes layered with floral touches, subtle spice, and a hint of earthy complexity. On the palate, it is balanced and precise, with silky tannins, lively acidity, and a core of ripe red fruit that gives way to a savory, mineral finish. The 2022 vintage should offer immediate appeal while still having enough structure to develop gracefully over the next several years. With time in bottle, it is likely to gain greater depth, softer tannins, and more complex tertiary notes.

Production
Sourced from Premier Cru vineyards in Beaune, this wine draws on Burgundy’s well-drained limestone and clay soils, which help produce Pinot Noir with both finesse and definition. The grapes are typically harvested by hand to preserve fruit quality, then carefully sorted before vinification. Traditional Burgundian winemaking methods are used, with fermentation followed by maturation in oak barrels to enhance texture, complexity, and ageing potential without overpowering the fruit.

Food & Serving
This wine pairs beautifully with roasted poultry, duck breast, mushroom dishes, veal, and classic French cuisine such as coq au vin or beef bourguignon. It is best served slightly cool, around 16–18°C, and benefits from about 30 minutes of decanting if young, especially to open up its aromas and soften the structure.

Producer
Founded in 1731, Bouchard Père & Fils is one of Burgundy’s historic domaine names and a major reference point for Pinot Noir and Chardonnay from across the region. Based in Beaune, the house is known for its extensive vineyard holdings and commitment to expressing Burgundy’s terroir with precision. Over the centuries, it has earned a strong reputation for consistency, quality, and for producing wines that showcase the character of the Côte de Beaune.
