Wine By Bok - 9.25/10 Stars
Les Greves in Beaune is considered one of the best terroirs in the commune. The central section of Les Greves is a famous plot known as Vigne d’Enfant Jesus, owned exclusively by Bouchard, produced the stunning Vigne de l’Enfant Jesus wine, a very structural and long aging potential wine. As such, this commune’s wine quality is good. The bouquet is very enjoyable with a floral fragrance with a hint of violets and ripe cranberries. The mouthfeel is stunning, and the most outstanding character as compared to the 2018 vintage is the stunning refinement of its finesse, this extraordinary finesse gives me a feeling that I’m wearing a Zegna suit, ultra-elegant and upmarket. It seems that Paul’s winemaking skill is getting better, as I can see the huge improvements compared to past vintages! (3/2023)

Wine Enthusiast - 94 points (Editor's Choice)
This black-cherried, plummy Pinot Noir is marked by fragrant wisps of toffee, cacao, violet and cassis. Moderately full in body but fresh and cutting in acidity, the stylish, silken sip has a long, delicately stony finish. (1/2022)
