The Burgundian wine domaine Bouchard Pére et Fils comprises 130 hectares, including 12ha of grand crus and 74ha of premier crus. Vigne de L’Enfant Jésus is a signature wine from the producer. The nose of the 2018 vintage is dominated by red fruits with a hint of thyme. The palate is deep and concentrated, with a pronounced core of fruit, ripe tannins and an expansive finish. A really superb wine.

The 2018 Beaune Grèves Vigne de L'Enfant Jesus 1er Cru has an attractive bouquet with brambly red and black fruit, fine definition, somehow a little sedate yet harmonious and appealing. The palate is medium-bodied with gentle grip and fine backbone. The oak impedes slightly towards the finish though that will be absorbed with another couple of years in bottle. Fine. Tasted blind at the Burgfest 2018 red tasting. Neal Martin22nd November 2022

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.
