Rating: 3.5/5
This Bourgogne from Bouchard Père & Fils displays a fully developed character, with a medium yellow colour and a nose of apple and vanilla notes, complemented by subtle hints of toast. On the palate, fine grained texture and medium body reveal crisp medium acidity and flavours of apple and lime juice, all wrapped in a smooth dry finish, showing a low tannin presence.
