Bouchard Père & Fils is one of the oldest wine estates in Burgundy, with a history that dates back to 1731. They are well-known for their vast vineyard holdings in the Côte d`Or, including a significant number of Grand Cru and Premier Cru sites. Their `Le Corton` shows complex aromas of black and red fruits, such as cherries and raspberries, complemented by earthy notes, spices, and a hint of game. The wine is typically well-structured with firm tannins and a long, elegant finish, reflecting the grandeur of its Grand Cru status. The 2011 vintage is drinking well now.

Bright, dark red. Expressive, wild aromas of raspberry, spices, flowers, minerals, mint, leather and meat. Lovely sweetness and breadth but almost surprisingly open-knit for young grand cru. I find both overripe and minty elements here. In fact, this fruit was picked on September 4 with close to 14% potential alcohol, noted winemaker Prost, adding that he found it light at the beginning. But it's growing every day in the barrel, like a white wine. Very tricky to judge today.Stephen Tanzer1st January 2013

14-18 months in oak, about 40-60% new. Mid to deep cherry red. Sweet, ripe cherry fruit with a hint of stems adding freshness. Upright, elegant, long but not especially powerful. (JH)Julia Harding9th January 2013

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.
