✨ Technical Specifications
Founded in 1731, Bouchard Pere et Fils is one of Burgundy's oldest and most venerable wine estates, headquartered in the historic Chateau de Beaune. The 'Cuvee Les Grands Chemins' (The Great Roads) is a beautifully crafted tribute to the historic merchant routes that the Bouchard family traversed for centuries to source the finest Pinot Noir grapes across the golden slopes of the Cote d'Or. This red Burgundy is crafted entirely from Pinot Noir, sourced from select parcels that showcase the classic marriage of clay and limestone soils. Vinified with traditional Burgundian techniques and aged in French oak barrels within the cool, subterranean bastions of the Chateau, this cuvee captures the vibrant, red-fruit character and elegant earthiness that define classic regional Pinot Noir.
🍾 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.
