Bouchard Père et Fils, Le Corton (Burgundy, France) 2007

($91, Henriot, Inc.):  Bouchard has substantial holdings in Corton from which they make consistently fine examples.  This is one of them.  Showing its grand cru status, it conveys a core of ripe–almost sweet–fruit encircled by supple tannins.  Remarkably forward, the charm of the 2007 vintage is apparent.  Still, it has plenty of stuffing and power without losing any of its delicacy. 90 Michael Apstein Oct 12, 2010
