This is one of Bouchard’s charming négociant (as opposed to Domaine) wine from the lesser known village of Savigny-lès-Beaune. It delivers precise charming cherry-like notes with just a hint of earthiness that reminds you why it’s labeled Burgundy and not Pinot Noir. This wine will enhance a simple roast chicken and is guaranteed to perk up an ordinary Thursday night.
