The Unlikely Flagship, Back-Vintage Edition:
2002 Bouchard Beaune 1er Cru l'Enfant Jésus

L'Enfant Jésus occupies a unique place in red Burgundy. It's an example of where Burgundy's neat hierarchies become blurred. Put l'Enfant Jésus in a blind tasting next to Grand Crus and there's no doubt that it will hold its own. It overachieves in that big of a way. It's Bouchard's flagship bottling.

"Terrific Delineation" -Burghound
2014 Angerville Volnay 1er Cru Taillepieds

We don't get to offer d'Angerville's Taillepieds very often. It's one of his wines that tends to disappear quickly from the market. D'Angerville's holdings in Taillepieds are half that of Ducs and a quarter of Champans.
