La Romanée Bouchard 2002 is a Pinot Noir from an esteemed Burgundy Grand Cru. This vintage exhibits dark fruit notes interlaced with subtle earthy undertones. The influence of oak is evident yet well-integrated, creating a framework that supports rather than overwhelms the fruit. The structure is firm, with layers of complexity that reward patience. Bouchard Père & Fils, established in 1731, is noted for its meticulous approach to winemaking, ensuring that each bottle reflects the unique character of its origins.

Deep ruby-red. Superripe yet almost magically vibrant aromas of black fruits, chocolate liqueur and mint. Hugely concentrated, powerful and thick, with fruit of steel and great class. Finishes with uncanny breadth of tannins and persistence. An obvious knockout. Like the top grand crus from Bouchard, this will benefit from six to eight years of cellaring.

Tasted at the La Romanée vertical at Domaine du Comte Liger-Belair. The 2002 La Romanée Grand Cru bottled by Bouchard Père & Fils has candied red fruit on the nose, touches of blood orange and mandarin developing with time, all nicely defined. It become ever more fragrant in the glass. The palate is medium-bodied with slightly leafy red berry fruit. The tannins are not as fine as the best 2002 Côte de Nuits although there is a pleasing, almost fiery finish. It just misses the class and sophistication I was hoping for and it feels a little short. Tasted June 2015. - Neal Martin

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.
