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 2021 Chevalier-Montrachet, one of five Grand Cru vineyards on the Montrachet Hill. The wines from this appellation are known for their distinct profile, with floral and fruit aromas as well as toasted notes.
Vinous
From their 2.5 hectares, the 2021 Chevalier-Montrachet Grand Cru amounts to just nine hectoliters this year, including fruit that usually goes into La Cabotte (there is none this year.) It has a pretty and appealing nose: white peach, yellow plum with a background flintiness. The palate is well balanced with decent concentration, though it is missing tension. It feels a bit flat compared to previous vintages. Needs more energy, more adrenalin pumping through its veins.

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.
