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.

Bouchard Père & Fils' 2019 Beaune Premier Cru "Clos du Roi" is a wine steeped in history, from a terroir once owned by the Dukes of Bourgogne. In 1482, when Louis XI attached Bourgogne to the French crown, this prestigious vineyard was renamed Clos du Roi. Today, Domaine manages a 0.83-hectare parcel, producing a wine of great elegance and complexity.
Located in Côte de Beaune, below Les Marconnets, this climate is based on predominantly limestone-clay soil, which favors optimum ripening of the Pinot Noir grape. Its east/south-east to south-east exposure provides a good thermal amplitude, ideal for the balance between freshness and ripeness of the grapes.
Hand-picked grapes are carefully sorted to ensure optimum selection. After total or partial destemming, depending on the vintage, fermentation takes place in small containers with gentle pressing to pRéserver enhance the finesse of the aromas. Vatting lasts between 15 and 20 days, ensuring controlled Extraction of tannins and color. Aging lasts 12 to 14 months in French oak barrels, with 30 to 40% new wood, bringing structure and depth to the wine without masking its original expression.
This 2019 vintage boasts a garnet-red color with mauve and brown highlights. The nose reveals a seductive bouquet of cooked fruit, citrus zest and a subtle touch of toast. On the palate, it offers fullness and roundness, with a delicate toastiness and long, lingering finish.
