Established in 1731, Bouchard Père & Fils is one of Burgundy’s oldest wine estates with a history that spans nearly three centuries.

This release is the domaine’s 2005 ‘La Romanée’, the smallest appellation in France, covering only 0.8 hectares. Expect notes of cherries, redcurrants, smoke, earth and spices.
94 Vinous
Bright, saturated ruby-red. Pungent minerals, licorice and cocoa powder on the nose. Lush and seamless but with extremely primary flavors of crushed berries, bitter chocolate, minerals and leather. Wonderfully rich but at the same time precise and vibrant. Finishes with a palate-staining whiplash of dark berry flavor. Tannins are quite fine, but this very tight, backward wine is going to require a decade or more in the cellar.Stephen Tanzer1st March 2007

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.
