✨ Tekniske specifikationer
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.
🍾 Om vinhuset / producenten
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.
