✨ Technical Specifications
Founded in 1731, Bouchard Pere et Fils is one of Burgundy's oldest and most prestigious wine estates, possessing a legacy deeply intertwined with the history of the Cote d'Or. Over nearly three centuries, the house has assembled an extraordinary collection of vineyards, including iconic parcels in Beaune, Meursault, and Corton. The Assortment Case represents a curated showcase of this rich heritage, typically bringing together a selection of their finest Premier Cru and Grand Cru expressions. Rather than a single wine, this collection offers a journey through the diverse terroirs of Burgundy, featuring both masterfully structured Pinot Noir and exquisitely mineral Chardonnay. Each bottle is crafted using traditional gravity-flow vinification and aged in the historic cellars of the Chateau de Beaune, reflecting the unique voice of its specific climat.
🍾 About the Producer
Established in Beaune in 1731 by Michel Bouchard, Bouchard Père & Fils stands as one of Burgundy's most venerable houses, headquartered within the historic fortress ramparts of the 15th-century Château de Beaune. Across centuries of dedicated plot acquisition, the estate developed an unparalleled patchwork of terroirs spanning classic limestone-clay slopes throughout the Côte de Beaune and Côte de Nuits. Now under the stewardship of Artémis Domaines, the house has phased out third-party négociant volumes to focus purely on estate-grown holdings, completing full organic viticultural certification across its vines. Modern vinification takes place in the gravity-flow Cuverie Saint-Vincent in Savigny-lès-Beaune, where precise temperature management, gentle extraction, and judicious French oak aging highlight transparent site expression. Celebrated benchmarks include the historic Beaune Premier Cru Grèves Vigne de l'Enfant Jésus, the monopole Beaune Premier Cru Clos de la Mousse, Beaune du Château, and crystalline expressions of Chevalier-Montrachet and Meursault.
