Notes:
Claude Kolm 92-94
“Floral nose with some spices. Good freshness, concentration, dark berry fruits, a bit of violet. Moderate acidity gives fleshiness, good length. Will age well. Whole cluster varies by parcel.” (December, 2018)
Jasper Morris 89-92
“Dense powerful red with an impressive concentration of fruit from the very start. Huge density of dark fruit at the front of the palate but the surge continues throughout. More black fruit than red, firm tannins at the finish. There is enough fruit though but it is a bit of a dark monster at the moment. On the inky side.” (November, 2018)
James Suckling 91-92
“A refined nose for Beaune with raspberry pastry and red cherries with a violet-flower edge. The palate has delicate and fine tannins with great structural integrity. The length and balance are very convincing. Approachable red fruit at the finish. Drink on release or hold.” (January, 2019)
Vinous Media (Neal Martin) 91-93
“The 2017 Beaune Les Grèves Vigne de L’Enfant Jesus 1er Cru comes from the 3.91-hectare parcel on the mid-slope, currently undergoing piecemeal replanting. It has a wonderful, expressive bouquet of dark cherries, wild strawberry and crushed stone that is easily the best of Bouchard’s Beaune Premier Crus. The palate is medium-bodied with fine-grained tannin and well-judged acidity, perhaps a little oakier than the Les Teurons but with more depth and precision on the finish. Great potential.” (October, 2018)
Wine Advocate (William Kelley) 90-92
“The 2017 Beaune 1er Cru Les Grèves Vigne de l'Enfant Jesus exhibits aromas of incense, cassis, blackberry, grilled meat, espresso roast and dark chocolate. On the palate, it's medium-bodied, fleshy and richly structured, with a generous, oak-inflected finish. While this is unlikely to surpass the 2015 and 2016 renditions in ultimate quality, it will offer more immediate gratification.” (January, 2019)
