2005 Bouchard Beaune Marconnets 1er

Allen Meadows' Burghound, April 2007
The aromatic spectrum of ripe fruit aromas is quite similar to that of the Teurons but here they are slightly cooler and more reserved still with rich, sweet and a touch less structured flavors supported by suave, indeed round tannins and fine length. 90 points

Stephen Tanzer's International Wine Cellar, Nov/Dec 2006
Dark red. Wild aromas of black cherry, leather and meat; there's something almost Cote de Nuits-like about this. Sweet, dense and concentrated, with a supple texture but also good inner-mouth energy. Shows an intriguing smoky character. Finishes fat, suave and long, with fine-grained tannins. 89-91 points
