Bouchard Pere & Fils
Bouchard Père & Fils, which was founded in 1731, began to sell wine during the first half of the 18th century. In 1775 the House acquired its first vineyards in Volnay, where the company was based at the time. In 1791 the French revolutionary government sold off property, which had belonged to the monastic orders, but were confiscated during the Revolution. It was at this time that Bouchard Père & Fils was able to purchase additional vineyards in Beaune, such as the prestigious Vigne de l'enfant Jesus. In 1820 Bouchard Père & Fils moved to the former Château Royal de Beaune, whose bastions and ramparts, with walls measuring 23 feet in thickness, offered the best possible wine-aging conditions for their great wines. In 1995 the Bouchard family passed the helm to the Henriot family, whose aim is to further develop this exceptional Domaine. In 1996, Bouchard took over the Domaine Ropiteau-Mignon, which added a number of prestigious vineyards in Mersault. And in 1998, Bouchard Père & Fils acquired the Domaine William Fèvre in Chablis, thus adding some significant premiers crus and grand crus Chablis to the Bouchard estate.

An intensely earthy and distinctly animale nose combines dark berry fruit and forest floor elements that are also expressed on the ripe and delicious flavors that offer good depth if not great elegance on the full-bodied finish that displays only moderate rusticity.

The successful outcome of the 2006 vintage would not have been possible without the efforts of the viticulturists. The work throughout the year had a determining factor at the harvest, particularly with the good quality of the Pinots Noirs.

Aromas of red and blue pinot fruit with violet hints that precede ripe, pure and very serious broad-shouldered flavors that possess a beguiling texture and impressive mid-palate concentration that still does not completely buffer the firm, long and chewy finish. This is a big wine that will require... more |

This is rich and creamy, with plenty of style and sophistication. Ripe fruit flavors of apricot, passion fruit, citrus blossom and mineral course through the refined texture. Unfolds to a long aftertaste of stone fruit and stone. Best from 2012 through 2030. 25 cases... more |

Bright, pure aromas of lemon, lime, minerals and ginger. At once sweet and precise, with lovely sugar/acid snap to the flavors of citrus peel, spices and flowers. A very perfumed and crisp wine with a long, aromatic, firmly stony aftertaste. Classic rather than exotic: I love this wine's rising... more |

Deep aromas of lemon drop, pineapple and wet stone. Impressively fat and quite dry, even a bit reduced, and less accessible and vibrant today than the Genevrieres. The pineapple fruit is joined by gingery spices and minerals. A very serious,... more |
