Bouchard Chevalier-Montrachet 2002 is a full-bodied Burgundy white wine from the Grand Cru climat of Chevalier-Montrachet in the Côte de Beaune. Bouchard Père & Fils is one of Burgundy`s oldest wine producers, with a history that spans nearly 300 years. The estate was founded in 1731 and is now part of Maisons & Domaines Henriot, which also owns William Fèvre, Beaux Frères, and Champagne Henriot. This is their 2002 Chevalier-Montrachet, one of five Grand Cru vineyards on the Montrachet Hill. "Brilliant and racy, this exudes mineral and hazelnut notes with accents of vanilla, flowers and citrus. Complex and chameleonlike, it vibrates with lovely acidity and boundless energy, ending with a cascading aftertaste of fruit, toast and mineral." Wine Spectator, 2004
90 Vinous
Extremely unevolved aromas of pineapple, spiced apple and grapefruit skin. Thick, rich flavors of grapefruit, apple and minerals; showing a slightly flat, oxidized, resiny character today, as well as a leesy component. A very substantial wine, but presently awkward. My range is just a rough estimate of the wine's potential quality. The 2002 whites will need longer on their lees, even if they are transferred from barriques to vats, says Prost. They'll be bottled on the late side, even if the reds get an early bottling.
18.5 Jancis Robinson
Very winning and racy, yet with great depth. Quite curious terroir notes. Positively pebbly, with masses of acidity and bone dry. Very positive and confident, but certainly not massive. (JR)

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.
