Renowned and respected as one of the finest producers in Burgundy, Bouchard Père et Fils has truly become an institution, known for the exceptional quality of their wines and the diversity of its many vineyards. Founded in 1731,  Bouchard Père et Fils has built up an estate of 130ha and, collectively, is the largest owner of Grand Crus (12ha) and Premier Crus (74ha) across the Côte d’Or Bouchard Père et Fils represents almost one hundred ‘climats’ or uniquely diverse vineyards, including prestigious monopoles such as ‘Beaune Grèves Vigne de l’Enfant Jésus’ and ‘Chevalier-Montrachet La Cabotte’.

This is also quite aromatically cool with a beautiful array of prominent mineral reduction aromas that are nuanced by hints of green apple, exotic tea and plenty of citrus influence. The succulent and refined medium weight flavors possess an absolutely gorgeous mouthfeel while exuding an almost pungent minerality on the moderately austere and wonderfully long finish. This is both stylish and classy though note well that it is very much built to age. This too is one to strongly consider.
