96 Vinous
Very pale yellow. Superripe, multidimensional nose offers stone fruits, grilled bread, acacia flower, spices, iodine, oyster shell and chicken broth. At once thick and bright in the mouth, with great penetration and lightness of flavor. Large-scaled and creamy wine with outstanding breadth. The finish is youthfully imploded, in fact nearly brutal, but at the same time extremely long and rich. (I should note that winemaker Prost lined up these last four wines for me last November, following my tastings of Bouchard's 2008 reds. They were not yet in bottle but were close to being finished wines. And they paired the same way as the finished wines did: the Corton-Charlemagne and regular Chevalier-Montrachet were utterly penetrating, taut and mineral-driven, while the Cabotte and Montrachet were sweeter, larger-scaled and a bit less forbidding.)Stephen Tanzer1st September 2010

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.
