‘Vignes de l’Enfant Jesus’ is a 4ha monopole with perfect exposition within the famed Grèves 1er Cru vineyard. The 2016 is a superb release with a pretty bouquet of crushed raspberry and cherry laced with violets and lavender. The palate is medium-bodied, effortlessly silky and has excellent persistence.

The 2016 Beaune Grèves Vigne de l’Enfant Jesus 1er Cru has a generous, fruit-packed bouquet with raspberry and wild strawberry scents, a hint of sous-bois in the background. Fine definition. The palate is medium-bodied with tensile tannins, quite sharp and citric for a Beaune in this vintage with a bright, slightly angular finish. It just pulls up a little short. It needs another 12 to 18 months to really coalesce. Tasted blind at the 2016 Burgfest tasting in Burgundy. Neal Martin1st October 2019

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.
