89 Vinous
Bright medium red. Pungent, slightly sauvage aromas of raspberry, strawberry liqueur, wild herbs, cinnamon and leather. Supple and fine-grained but a bit unforthcoming in the early going, with its cherry-berry, wild herb and spice flavors currently shortened a bit on the back by a serious dusting of tannins. This very dry wine has the acids and tannins for mid-term aging but lacks give and generosity today. Perhaps a bit dried by its oak element. (An earlier bottle sampled at Bouchard in November was more meaty and funky.)Stephen Tanzer1st March 2017

Tasted blind at the Burgfest 2014 tasting, Bouchard's 2014 Beaune 1er Cru Les Grèves Vignes de l'Enfant Jesus had an odd, slightly volatile bouquet that might be showing some effects of the hail. The palate is medium-bodied with dry tannin, too much wood tannins here that overwhelms the fruit and dries the finish. It just seems like a wine discombobulated by the traumatic growing season. Tasted September 2017.Neal Martin31st October 2017

Bouchard Pere et Fils

Timeless legacy in Burgundy’s heart

Established in 1731, Maison Bouchard Père & Fils is one of the oldest and largest wine estates in the Côte d’Or. In 1995, the estate was acquired by the Henriot family, whose portfolio also includes William Fèvre, Beaux Frères, Château de Poncié and Champagne Henriot. Bouchard boasts vineyard holdings totalling approximately 130 hectares, including 74ha of Premiers Crus and 12ha of Grand Crus, with as many as 450 different individual plots. While the maison’s vast mosaic of holdings are weighted towards the Côte de Beaune, the Côte de Nuits is also a major focus.

The maison’s original vineyard was purchased by Joseph Bouchard in Volnay Les Caillerets in 1775. Not long after Beaune Grèves Vigne de l’Enfant Jesus followed. Now one of four Bouchard monopole vineyards, Beaune Grèves Vignes de l’Enfant Jésus was once owned by the Carmelite order of nuns and is the source of Bouchard’s flagship wine. Bouchard’s extensive suite of wines is produced and aged at the state-of-the-art, gravity-fed Cuverie Saint Vincent in Savigny-lès-Beaune. Once bottled, the wines are stored beneath the historic Château de Beaune, built in the 15th century by King Louis XI and purchased by Bernard Bouchard in 1820.

With almost 300 years of savoir-faire, from its unrivalled multiplicity of terroirs, Bouchard stands as one of the most eminent names in Burgundy winemaking.
