✨ Technical Specifications
Founded in 1731, Bouchard Pere et Fils is one of Burgundy's oldest and most prestigious wine houses. The 'Reserve Coteaux Moines' Blanc is a historical tribute to the Benedictine and Cistercian monks who painstakingly mapped, classified, and cultivated the legendary terroirs of Burgundy during the Middle Ages. Crafted from 100% Chardonnay sourced from select vineyards, this cuvee represents a classic expression of regional white Burgundy. The winemaking process carefully balances tradition and modernity, utilizing partial aging in French oak barrels alongside stainless steel vats to preserve the bright, limestone-driven minerality while developing a delicate, creamy texture. The wine is celebrated for its harmonious profile of green apple, citrus blossom, and subtle toasted brioche notes.
🍾 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.
