Founded by textile merchant Michel Bouchard in 1731, Bouchard Pe`re & Fils is one of Burgundy’s oldest wine estates. Since 1995 the well-established maison has been owned by the Henriot family, whose portfolio also includes William Fèvre, Beaux Frères and Champagne Henriot. This particular cuvée comes from the grand cru Corton-Charlemagne, where Bouchard owns a 3.65-hectare plot. The wines are typically rich and powerful, boasting intense fruit and toasted aromas, complemented by mineral notes.
93 Vinous
The 2020 Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru has a ripe, slightly honeyed bouquet with lime, linden, hints of yellow plum and orange pith aromas that blossom in the glass. This is very well-defined and evolves wonderfully with aeration. The beautifully defined palate offers a creamy veneer of new oak that does not impede upon the terroir. Harmonious with subtle wild peach and marzipan notes toward the finish, this is just a delicious Corton-Charlemagne. Tasted blind at the annual Burgfest tasting. Neal Martin9th July 2024

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.
