Its Origins
Today the Burgundian wine domaine of Bouchard Pere et Fils can trace its origins back to 1731, though it is no longer family owned. In 1995 the Champagne house Joseph Henriot acquired the company and quality has risen as a consequence. Bouchard is led by Stéphane Follin Arbelet, while the wines are made by Philippe Prost - who has been with the company since 1978. An impressive gravity-flow winery on the Route de Savigny, the Cuvérie St Vincent, was completed in 2005 and enables them to process all their wines with optimum efficiency. Bouchard’s total holdings comprise 130 hectares, including 12ha of grand crus and 74ha of premier crus, which makes them the largest vineyard owners in the Côte d’Or.
What The Critics Say
94-95/100 JamesSuckling.com, Stuart Pigott
"The domaine-owned parcel here is 2.3ha in size facing due east. Dense nose of black fruits, also Amarena cherry with a touch of bitter chocolate. Powerful and structured with a firm core of healthy tannin. Long, firm and energetic finish that’s been lovingly crafted to be chalky, with no hint of hardness. From a site with a stony limestone soil that was picked early to avoid overripeness in this warm vintage."
93/100 Decanter, Charles Curtis MW
"There are enchanting aromas of ripe rose petals and wild strawberries on the initial attack of the 2022 Teurons from Bouchard. The texture is firm and grippy but fully ripe and not astringent. The grapes are from 2.30 hectares of east-facing vines in thin soils over the limestone bedrock. Although this is normally among the most early-ripening parcels of the house, the vines shut down this year due to heat stress and ripened late." Drink 2027 - 2055
