The 2021 Beaune 1er Cru du Château Rouge presents an intense nose of sage alongside vibrant red berries like redcurrant, raspberry, and cranberry. The medium-bodied palate is framed by polished tannins and a savory finish. While approachable now, it will benefit from a bit more aging. Bouchard describes it as harmonious and soft, with good ageing potential typical of Beaune’s Premiers Crus.

An intense sage aroma is married to bright red berry fruit - redcurrant, raspberry and cranberry - plus a healthy dose of well-crafted tannins on the medium-bodied palate. Good length with some interesting savory character at the finish. Just about drinkable now, but a bit more time in bottle would help. Drinkable now, but best from 2025.

Fine, very perfumed nose. This harmonious, well-constituted wine has the typical softness of Beaune's Premiers Crus. Good ageing potential.
