Founded by textile merchant Michel Bouchard in 1731, Bouchard Père et 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 Premier Cru Meursault Genevrières, where the Domaine owns a 2.65-hectare plot. 2002 is deservedly a popular vintage among Burgundy aficionados, and the remaining available wines are in a great spot right now.
92 Vinous
Reticent aromas of lime, mint and vanillin oak. Perfumed and pure in the mouth, with rather steely flavors of soft citrus fruits and minerals. Quite subtle and light on its feet. Finishes long, fine and bracing, with notes of orange and tangerine.Stephen Tanzer1st September 2004
Jancis Robinson
The 2002 Meursault-Genevrieres (domaine), sporting a nose of spices, white flowers, and nuts, is a light to medium-bodied, lively, pure wine with a compressed finish. It should be consumed over the next 4-5 years.Pierre Rovani27th February 2004

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.
