Established in 1731, Maison Bouchard Père & Fils is one of Burgundy’s oldest wine estates with a history that spans nearly three centuries. In 1995, the estate was acquired by the Henriot family, owner of the historic champagne house. This release is their 2021 Perrières, a Premier Cru where Bouchard owns approximately 1.2 hectares. Matured for 13 months in 18% new oak, the wines from this appellation tend to display a complex blend of floral notes and delicate oaky accents.
Vinous
The 2021 Meursault Les Perrières 1er Cru is backward and reticent on the nose, doesn't really translate the essence of the terroir this year, denuded by the growing season rather than winemaking. The palate is better with more tension than the Genevrières. Slight oxidation lends a flor-like note that adds intrigue, though how will that play out once in bottle? Neal Martin5th January 2023

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.
