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 famous vineyard derives its name from its geographical position on a steep slope where the workers would hurt their feet when digging the soil. Bouchard Pere & Fils has owned 38 acres of the Premier Cru vineyard since1775 the year when the house also bought its very first vineyards, in Les Caillerets.

Review

Enough wood to notice surrounds the equally ripe aromas of mocha, black raspberry and spicy poached plum. The super-sleek, dense and wonderfully energetic medium-bodied flavours brim with both minerality and dry extract that helps to buffer the firm tannins shaping the youthfully austere, chiseled and sneaky long finish.

Tasting Profile
palate

Aromas of red fruit and berries on the nose, with expressive aromas repeated firmly on the palate. This wine has a wonderful liveliness, softening with a bit of time and patience.
