Bouchard Père et Fils, La Romanée 1989
Grand Cru, Côte de Nuits
In original wooden cases
1989**** Very Good for Red & White.
Interesting contrast to the more reserved 88’s. Wines of charm with a rich opulent character.
After a warm March and some frost in April, which reduced the crop size, the flowering started in early May. The summer was very hot with some rain end of July. This weather continued until the harvest making for intense full rich grapes. This character shows through on the wines. The whites have always been fairly rich and rounded, leaning towards a full bodied style. The best terroirs show better balance with lingering acidity behind the luscious fruit.
Tasting note: Lovely colour. Finely wooded, subtle, mocha note, a wine of class. Good potential. Beautiful bottle worthy of its appellation. BPF.
