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.
