From Bouchard Père & Fils, Beaune Vigne de l’Enfant Jésus Bouchard Magnum 2008 is crafted from a four-hectare monopole within the Grèves premier cru in Burgundy, France. This site benefits from well-drained sandy-limestone soils, famed for yielding fine Pinot Noir. The 2008 vintage in Côte de Beaune was characterised by high acidity, leading to a 13% alcohol wine displaying redcurrants, rose petals, and subtle woodsmoke on the palate. Aged for 13 months in French oak, the magnum format aids in preserving the wine`s primary fruit vibrancy while allowing the tension from the acidity to integrate harmoniously. It offers a mineral finish, reflective of the unique terroir.

Good deep red-ruby. Expressive aromas of strawberry, redcurrant, minerals, tobacco and earth. Very rich, pliant and sweet, with deep redcurrant and tobacco flavors lingering impressively on the back end. This offers ideal ripeness, as there are neither the slightly dry notes of hail-affected C o te de Beaune wines nor the coolness of fruit that did not ripen properly.Stephen Tanzer1st March 2010

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.
