VERY RARE BURGUNDY
Donated by M Claude Bouchard
Removed from the private family cellars beneath the bastions of the château de Beaune and now lying at Christies
La Romanée--Vintage 1865
Côte de Nuits. Domaine-bottled: Bouchard Père et Fils
A magnificent mid-19th century Burgundy vintage. Bouchard's Romanée tasted once, at a Heublein pre-sale tasting in 1981: good colour despite its age; sweet, fragrant bouquet; on the palate smooth, soft yet with perfect life-sustaining tannin and acidity. A glorious drink (MB)
