Brilliant and racy, this exudes mineral and hazelnut notes with accents of vanilla, flowers and citrus. Complex and chameleonlike, it vibrates with lovely acidity and boundless energy, ending with a cascading aftertaste of fruit, toast and mineral.

Distillery Information

Bouchard Pre et Fils is a sizable and historic Burgundy wine estate, based in Beaune. The largest vineyard owner in the Cte d’Or, it produces more than 100 wines mostly made from Pinot Noir or Chardonnay, in a range that also includes appellations in the Maconnais, Cte Chalonnaise and Beaujolais regions. The vineyard holdings total around 130 hectares (320 acres), spread across 450 parcels, including 12 hectares (30 acres) of grand crus vines and 74 hectares (183 acres) of premier crus, and four monopole vineyards. Bouchard makes wines from some of Burgundy’s most famous vineyards, including Montrachet, Corton-Charlemagne and Chambertin. Its portfolio also includes a range of wines at premier cru and village level, as well as under the more generic Bourgogne appellation. Since 2005, Bouchard’s wines have been made at a custom-built winery in Savigny-ls-Beaune. If barrel aging is required, the wines are then matured in oak in a 4000-barrel cellar at the headquarters of the operation in the Chteau de Beaune, which dates back to the 15th Century.
