Description

Bouchard Père et Fils is an esteemed producer in Burgundy, known for its exceptional wines and vast vineyards. Established in 1731, the estate spans 130 hectares and is the largest proprietor of Grand Crus (12ha) and Premier Crus (74ha) across the Côte d’Or, with nearly a hundred "climats" or diverse vineyards, including the prestigious monopoles "Beaune Grèves Vigne de l'Enfant Jésus" and "Chevalier-Montrachet La Cabotte."

The Bouchard Père & Fils Chevalier-Montrachet 'La Cabotte' Grand Cru Magnum 1.5L 2019 is a standout product from this esteemed producer. The name "cabotte" is derived from a little dry stone shelter used by growers for lunch or protection from the rain on the edge of the vineyards in Burgundy. The vineyard of Chevalier-Montrachet La Cabotte lies between the Montrachet and Chevalier-Montrachet appellations and is the most prestigious of Chevalier-Montrachet. Bouchard Père & Fils vinifies the grapes from this vineyard separately, using 21 "ares" of land. The land is in the continuity of Montrachet and was a part of this appellation at the beginning of the 20th century.

The Magnum 1.5L bottle size of the Bouchard Père & Fils Chevalier-Montrachet 'La Cabotte' Grand Cru enhances the wine's appearance and presentation. The larger size provides a more significant visual impact and adds to the wine's luxurious appeal. The Magnum bottle size also improves the aging process by providing a better ratio of wine to oxygen, resulting in a more even and slower maturation. This helps preserve the wine's aromas, flavours, and overall quality over an extended period, making it a perfect choice for collectors or for special occasions.

Review

The 2019 Chevalier-Montrachet La Cabotte Grand Cru is showing brilliantly, bursting with aromas of pear, citrus oil, honeycomb, buttered toast, and struck match. Full-bodied, deep, and concentrated, it's long and multidimensional, with racy acids and a penetrating, saline finish. From a small terrace above Montrachet, "La Cabotte" has been bottled separately since 1997.
