✨ Technical Specifications
The 'Beaune du Château' has been a signature cuvée of Bouchard Père & Fils since 1907. This unique Premier Cru is a masterful blend of several of the estate's Beaune Premier Cru parcels—often encompassing up to 17 different climats, such as Les Teurons, Les Tuvilains, and Les Aigrots. Each parcel is vinified separately to preserve its distinct terroir characteristics before being artfully blended. This historic practice allows the house to craft a wine that represents a harmonious synthesis of the entire Beaune appellation, balancing structure, elegance, and vibrant fruit. The wine is aged in French oak barrels within the historic subterranean cellars of the 15th-century Château de Beaune, resulting in a refined, velvety texture with notes of dark berries, subtle spices, and delicate toast.
🍾 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.
