Description

Renowned and respected as one of the finest producers in Burgundy, Bouchard Père et Fils has truly become an institution, known for the exceptional quality of their wines and the diversity of its many vineyards.

Founded in 1731, Bouchard Père et Fils has built up an estate of 130ha and, collectively, is the largest owner of Grand Crus (12ha) and Premier Crus (74ha) across the Côte d’Or Bouchard Père et Fils represents almost one hundred ‘climats’ or uniquely diverse vineyards, including prestigious monopoles such as ‘Beaune Grèves Vigne de l’Enfant Jésus’ and ‘Chevalier-Montrachet La Cabotte’.

This fine vineyard in Beaune owes its name to the Germanic tribe of the Marcomans who it appears settled here in the 3rd century AD. Bouchard Pere & Fils has owned vineyards here since 1791 and today harvests from the 2.32 hectares situated at the northermost point of the territory of Beaune. The layers of grey, marly chalk give this premier cru distinction, character, elegance and bouquet.

Review

Bright, fresh and ripe black pinot fruit aromas are suffused with cool earth and subtle spice wisps. The sleek and more intense medium weight flavours exude evident minerality while delivering fine length on the youthfully austere, chiseled and sneaky long finale.

Tasting Profile

Palate
Fruit aromas combined with a musky note and a delicate oaky hint on the nose. Firm and well built, this wine is both full bodies and elegant, giving it all its personality. Good ageing potential.
