Maison Bouchard Père & Fils, founded in 1731, is one of Burgundy’s oldest and most storied wine houses, renowned for assembling a prestigious 130‑hectare domaine that includes legendary parcels such as Beaune Grèves Vigne de L’Enfant Jésus, Chevalier‑Montrachet, Montrachet, Corton, Corton‑Charlemagne, Bonnes‑Mares, and Clos Vougeot. Acquired by Joseph Henriot in 1995 and now part of Maisons & Domaines Henriot, the estate is dedicated to meticulous, vine‑to‑bottle craftsmanship that honors the purest expression of each terroir. Since the early 19th century, the house has matured its wines deep beneath the historic Château de Beaune, where underground galleries and seven‑meter‑thick fortress walls protect millions of bottles—including rare pre‑phylloxera treasures—allowing them to age slowly under ideal conditions.
The 2020 has aromas of cherry, raspberry, and cranberry with floral notes, subtle spice, and earthy undertones; refined tannins with lively acidity and a long, graceful finish.
