The winemaker

Winemaker Country Region
Bouchard Père et Fils France Bourgogne - Côte de Beaune
About the winemaker Founded in 1731, Bouchard Père et Fils is one of the oldest wineries in Burgundy. A winery with a long history and an impressive acreage of vineyards. With 130 hectares of its own vineyards spread over 12 Grand Cru's and 74(!) premier cru's among others, winemaker Frédéric Weber has access to a unique terroir. As of the 2020 vintage, the vineyards are in conversion to organic viticulture and with this, the winery is sending a great signal in the Burgundy wine region. Many vineyards were already farmed organically, but the certification will follow in 2024. Montrachet, Corton-Charlemagne, Chevalier-Montrachet, Beaune Grèves Vignes de l'Enfant Jésus, Bonnes-Mares, Meursault Perrières are some of the prestigious vineyards that belong to the vineyard estate.

Details

Vineyard

Chassagne-Montrachet measures a total of 70 hectares of vineyards and both pinot noir and chardonnay are planted. Chassagne has a soil rich in calcareous marl. Furthermore, the vineyard is rich in pebbles and this means that the vineyard is well permeable to water. Thanks to long-standing relationships, Bouchard Père & Fils has the opportunity to purchase fruit here every year. The soil in this premier is characterized by a high content of limestone and clay rich in marl.

Vinification

The harvest is manual and in boxes of 13 kilos. There is a soft pressing that takes up to 2 hours. This is followed by fermentation, during 9 to 10 months, in oak barrels of 225 liters of which 15% are new. The wines are blended and then spend 3-4 months on stainless steel.
