✨ Technical Specifications
Crafted by the historic house of Bouchard Pere et Fils, established in 1731 and headquartered in the historic Chateau de Beaune, the Saint-Pierre cuvee is a beautiful testament to the classic style of regional white Burgundy. Named in honor of Saint Peter, the patron saint of vintners, this 100% Chardonnay is sourced from carefully selected vineyards across the region to capture the essence of Burgundy's limestone-rich soils. To preserve its vibrant fruit character while introducing a subtle complexity, the winemakers utilize a combination of stainless steel vats for fermentation and a period of aging in French oak barrels. This harmonious approach yields a wine that marries bright citrus and green apple notes with a delicate, buttery roundness and a clean, mineral finish, carrying forward nearly three centuries of Burgundian winemaking heritage.
🍾 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.
