✨ Technical Specifications
Crafted by the historic house of Bouchard Père & Fils, founded in 1731, the 'Beaune du Château' Premier Cru Blanc is a signature cuvée that has defined the house style since its inception in 1907. This wine is a masterclass in blending, sourcing 100% Chardonnay grapes from several distinct Beaune Premier Cru vineyard parcels owned by the estate. Each parcel is vinified separately to capture its unique micro-terroir—ranging from limestone-dominant soils that offer mineral tension to clay-rich plots that provide richness and weight. Aged for over a year in French oak barrels within the ancient underground cellars of the Château de Beaune, this white Burgundy marries vibrant citrus and white peach fruit with delicate toasted brioche and hazelnut notes, representing a harmonious mosaic of the Beaune appellation.
🍾 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.
