✨ 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
Founded in 1731 by Michel Bouchard, Bouchard Père & Fils is one of Burgundy’s oldest and most revered wine houses, headquartered at the historic 15th-century Château de Beaune. Over nearly three centuries of meticulous acquisition, the estate assembled an extraordinary mosaic of vineyards spanning roughly 130 hectares across the Côte d'Or, notably including prestigious Grand Cru and Premier Cru parcels. The house is dedicated to parcel-by-parcel vinification and careful oak aging within its subterranean fortress cellars, highlighting the subtle nuances of individual climats. World-renowned for its elegance, structure, and terroir transparency, Bouchard Père & Fils produces celebrated Pinot Noir benchmarks such as the iconic Beaune Grèves Vigne de L'Enfant Jésus alongside legendary Chardonnay masterworks from Corton-Charlemagne and Chevalier-Montrachet.
