The 2008 Meursault Perrières from Bouchard Père & Fils is a Premier Cru white Burgundy made predominantly from Chardonnay. The grapes are sourced from meticulously maintained plots within the Meursault Les Perrières vineyard, an area prized for its distinct terroir. This vintage presents a precise bouquet featuring lemon zest, subtle marine influences and a marked minerality. The palate displays a focused acidity and a concentrated fruit expression, alongside a saline and refreshing finish. Bouchard Père & Fils, established in 1731, is one of Burgundy`s oldest wine houses, with extensive vineyards within the region.

Pale, bright yellow. Musky, expressive aromas of citrus peel and nut oil. The palate offers a lovely balance of sweetness and acidity, showing bright pineapple and lemon flavors and superb grip. But at present this does not have the breadth, silkiness or volume of the 2009. Still, notes Prost, this is riper and stronger than the 2007, which he says is pure and precise but needs more guts.

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.
