It was in 1731 that Michel BOUCHARD founded the House of Bouchard Père et Fils, a very old House of Bourgogne wines whose traditions have been perpetuated over 9 generations and for more than 280 years.
Since 1775, the House of Bouchard has acquired parcel after parcel of Domaine which to this day covers 130 hectares of which only 12 are legally classified as Grands Crus at the very top of the qualitative hierarchy of Bourgognes. This Domaine includes parcels of vines called "climat" with mythical names: Montrachet, Corton-Charlemagne, Beaune Grèves Vigne de l'Enfant Jésus, Bonnes-mares, Meursault Perrières...
1820: Bernard BOUCHARD buys the site of the former Château of Beaune, a royal fortress built in the fifteenth century, to store his wines in cellars 10 meters deep, which still houses today a unique collection of about 2000 bottles of the nineteenth century.
Traditions and Modernity could be the motto of this House which invested in 2005 in an efficient working tool, the Saint Vincent vat house in Savigny-lès-Beaune, based 5 meters underground thus allowing the grapes by gravitation to naturally access the 138 maceration vats or the presses. The wines are then aged in wood in a cellar with a capacity of 4000 barrels.

Produced in the prestigious Echezeaux Grand Cru appellation, this wine reflects the richness and diversity of its terroir, which, situated at the bottom of a valley, is conveniently sheltered from the wind. Here, on a 39-acre plot planted on a steep slope, Pinot Noir flourishes on a stony clay-limestone subsoil and produces wines marked by elegance.
Fruit of a manual harvest following which the grapes are partially or totally destemmed depending on the vintage and then vinified in small containers, this wine is characterized by an intense bouquet of red fruits and spices, tinged with smoky notes.
Maturing for 12 to 14 months in French oak barrels, with a significant proportion of new barrels, gives it remarkable structure. Benefiting from optimal ageing in the historic cellars of the former Château of Beaune, this Echezeaux Grand Cru has an ageing potential of over 10 years. Served between 17 and 18°C, it's an ideal accompaniment to roasted meats or meats in sauce and medium-aged cheeses, with which it reveals an elegant, racy profile.
