2011 Nuits-Saint-Georges 1er cru “Les Cailles”

THE VINTAGE

BOUCHARD PÈRE & FILS ESTATE (ESTATE) Founded in 1731, Maison Bouchard Père et Fils has throughout its history built up one of the most beautiful vineyards in Burgundy, by buying vines from the best terroirs. In 1811, the corporate name "Bouchard Père et Fils" was made official; throughout the 19th century, takeovers continued and during the 20th century, the Bouchards concentrated on exploiting their estate rather than expanding it. From 1969, the selective purchasing policy resumed. In 1995, the Bouchard family passed the torch to another historic family, this time from Champagne: the Maison de Champagne Henriot. The new team took charge of the destiny of the vineyard and completely regenerated the house, even in the style of the wines. Since then, its rating has continued to climb and it is one of the best Burgundy merchants; some of its wines have even succeeded in establishing themselves as the greatest in its entire history. The entire vineyard is led by Thomas Seiter, who became the new general manager in 2018. The vineyard has 130 hectares (and as much area for purchasing grapes) including 12 hectares of Grands Crus and 74 hectares of Premiers crus. With nearly 50 hectares spread over 23 climats, Bouchard Père & Fils has been the largest owner in Beaune Premier Cru for several generations.

This non-vintage Rose is the end result of a desire to create a Rose champagne with a delightfully luscious, fruit-based charm. Jacques Peters, the cellarmaster, and his team wanted a champagne that would be accessible and naturally engaging while conserving Veuve Clicquot's essential values in terms of style. The wine has a luminous color with attractive pink glints.

The nose is generous and elegant, with initial aromas of fresh red fruit (raspberry, wild strawberry, cherry, blackberry), leading to biscuity notes of dried fruits and Viennese pastries (almonds, apricots and brioche). The fresh attack is followed by a fruity harmonious sensation on the palate. The wine is perfectly balanced in the best Veuve Clicquot style of pink champagnes, combining elegance and flair. The wine works its magic—this delectably full champagne can be enjoyed as a true delicacy. A deliciously fruity wine in earlybloom, this is a wonderful aperitif to be shared as a twosome or simply with friends. Made using 50 to 60 different crus, the cuvee is based on Brut Yellow Label's traditional blend: 50 to 55% Pinot Noir, 15 to 20% Pinot Meunier, and 28 to 33% Chardonnay.
