Pierre Bourée Fils Pierre Bourée Fils Bourgogne, France, Burgundy, Bourgogne

My first seeing Burgundy with a screw cap. Starting off well. I recorked using a Repour over about 2 months taking out a glass each time. My last glass was the best. Therefore probably needs some decanting. Chilled slightly. Nose of strawberries but mainly earthy notes which I didn't find the first few glasses that I had. Maybe a bit of confection? On the palate, taste the red fruit for sure and some hints of youthful earthy notes like fresh …

A perfectly acceptable, workmanlike, table burgundy red. Aromas of ripe raspberry and cherry, some spice and tertiary notes of leather and meat. Medium- tannins and good acidity. A little flabby/round rather than austere/angular; if you like merlot you will like this, but it might disappoint people who like more structure in their wines. Medium to medium+ finish.

Typical light Bourgogne. Very drinkable

Decent bottle, drinkable. Needs lighter foods to really sing. A little salty at first. Give it an hour in the decanter minimum.

90's Bouchard Tasting (St. Paul, MN) : Medium bright ruby color. Raspberry nose; tart rasberry palate, still has the minerality. Nothing special but would get the job done on an easy week day.

Fresh Pinot and easy to drink. Good to some fish and other light food. We found it Well done.
