Nice, well-balanced Provençal rosé, with soft shell crabs at Bistro du Midi in Boston — 3 years ago
So far all Bouju wines I tasted are powerful, overly young and not simple (in variety of meanings). This one is no exception. Ripe cherry, dark cherry, earthy hints, chocolate powder, white pepper, banana. All this leads me to Morgon or some neighbouring appellation, but nope! Tannic, astringent palate with highly volatile finish backed by black cherry. Definitely interesting and sophisticated wine. But so damn young! Decant unless you want to be washed away by a wave of hair spray! Then it becomes beautiful, by gaining medicinal herbs notes in the nose and cherry-vanilla-VA-chocolate flavours. Giving extra 1 for no apparent reason.

On the nose: berries and bruised apple. Cinnamon. Bitter chocolate, ripe cherry. Mouthfeel: remarkable balance. Medium body (I’d even go medium-) with great structure. Hit with raspberry but rest of the fruit follows. Tannin level is perfect to round off a great sip. Good on its own or paired with red meats and light sauces. Also great with chocolate desserts. Great vintage. Wow! — 6 months ago
Pear and juicy cool fresh cut fruit on the nose. Green apple, some mineral dust. Palate is refreshing and generous with the cool typicity of the Loire, never mind this is Chardonnay. A wine of terroir- but a little funky and off kilter.. But… Beware, started to turn microbial a day after opening. — 3 years ago
