Founded in 1731 in Beaune by Michel Bouchard, Bouchard Père & Fils is one of the oldest wine estates in Burgundy, with a history spanning over 280 years and 9 generations. This Chambertin Grand Cru is deep and intense on the nose, developing fruity and spicy flavours, with hints of oak. Perfectly balanced between strength and finesse. A superb wine displaying exceptional persistence and of great ageing potential.
Vinous
The 2018 Chambertin Grand Cru was picked on September 12, four days prior to the Clos-de-Bèze. It offers more complexity and mineralité on the nose by comparison, featuring blackberry, raspberry and briar scents; rose petal and light bergamot notes emerge with time. The palate is medium-bodied with sweet tannins on the entry. Quite sinewy for a Chambertin and maybe missing a little grace and refinement on the finish. Not bad, but I prefer some of Bouchard’s other Grand Crus this year. Neal Martin1st January 2020

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.
