Montrachet Bouchard 2012 is a white Burgundy from the Montrachet Grand Cru vineyard. Established in 1731, Bouchard Père & Fils possesses a longstanding reputation for crafting high-quality Burgundies, nurturing their vineyards through sustainable practices. The 2012 vintage benefited from favourable climatic conditions, resulting in Chardonnay grapes with notable complexity. This wine features a vibrant gold hue, accompanied by aromas of white truffle and finely tuned minerality. The palate reveals a structured yet dense texture, offering an enduring finish. The 600cl format provides ideal conditions for prolonged cellaring.

The 2012 Montrachet Grand Cru has a precise nose with lemon, thyme and crushed limestone scents, gaining intensity as it blossoms in the glass. This is just very…Montrachet. The palate is elegant at first, but you really feel the concentration and depth on the back palate. A silver bead of acidity keeps this on its toes, and a dash of lemon rind combines nicely with a slightly oily texture on the finish that fans out gloriously. Superb. Tasted at the mature Bouchard Père dinner at the Domaine in Beaune.Neal Martin24th April 2024

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.
