Bouchard Père et Fils, La Romanée 1990
Grand Cru, Côte de Nuits
In original wooden cases
1990***** Outstanding for Red, **** Very Good for white.
A great vintage for red Burgundies.
The mild winter made the vines vegetation come to life early, April to June were cool which slowed down the flowering and reduced the bunches. Summer was hot and dry with just enough rain to keep the vines from going into hydric stress. Harvest commenced early on 20 September.
The whites were of a very good concentration with fine acidity, the fairly large crop of Chardonnay made that the 1990 whites are just behind the 1989’s. A striking feature of the Pinot Noir grapes that came in was their thick skins, not so common in Burgundy, this resulted in wines with a lot of color and extract. The 1990 reds are impressive complete wines with charm and backbone, well balanced.
Tasting note: Lovely deep red colour. Fine nose of wonderful well ripened red fruits well married with spices, racy. Notes of tobacco in the mouth lingering taste quite rich and creamy, complex. Superb bottle. BPF.
