✨ Technical Specifications
The name 'Corv es de C teaux' evokes the deep historical roots of Burgundy, referencing the medieval Cistercian monks of C teaux Abbey who painstakingly mapped and cultivated the finest terroirs of Beaune. While this specific climat is famously associated as a monopole of another historic Beaune house, Bouchard P re & Fils represents the pinnacle of Beaune Premier Cru white winemaking. Crafted from Chardonnay grown in the clay-limestone soils of the C te de Beaune, these Premier Cru whites are vinified with meticulous precision. The grapes are gently pressed and fermented in French oak barrels, then aged in the cool, subterranean cellars of the 15th-century Ch teau de Beaune. The resulting style is one of classic Burgundian elegance: a brilliant pale-gold color, an expressive bouquet of white flowers, fresh citrus, and toasted brioche, balanced by a vibrant minerality and a beautifully textured, lingering finish.
🍾 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.
