✨ Technical Specifications
Bouchard Pere et Fils, founded in 1731, is one of Burgundy's oldest and most storied wine estates, operating from the historic Chateau de Beaune. 'La Vignee' Chardonnay is crafted as an elegant introduction to the house's signature style, showcasing the purity of the Chardonnay grape. Sourced from carefully selected parcels across the Burgundy region, the wine is aged in a combination of stainless steel vats and French oak barrels. This dual aging method preserves the bright, fresh citrus and white flower aromas while imparting a delicate roundness and subtle mineral complexity, reflecting centuries of Burgundian winemaking heritage.
🍾 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.
