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’.

Here too the nose is cool and elegant with its array of black cherry and raspberry trimmed in anise and violet hints. There is excellent punch to the even more mineral-driven medium-bodied flavors that possess a succulent mid-palate that contrasts with the moderately austere, firm and serious finale. This always needs at least some patience and 2022 will not be any different. Excellent. Tasted: Apr 2024; Drink: 2032+; Issue: 94; Comments; Outstanding; Rating 91-93 Points; Allen Meadows; Burghound
