✨ Technical Specifications
As an elegant introduction to the legendary house of Bouchard Père & Fils, their regional Bourgogne Rouge represents a harmonious blend of terroirs across Burgundy. Sourced from carefully selected parcels, this wine is crafted with the same meticulous attention to detail as the estate's prestigious premier and grand crus. Historically, regional red Burgundy has served as the daily canvas of the Burgundian winemaker, showcasing the pure, unadorned character of the Pinot Noir grape. Aged partially in French oak barrels in the subterranean cellars of the historic Château de Beaune, this wine captures the vibrant red fruit, delicate spice, and approachable elegance that define the classic style of the region.
🍾 About the Producer
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.
