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.

Originating from the Côte de Beaune vineyard, wines from the Corton appellation are renowned for their complexity and impressive chewiness made of both sensuality and structure.
The bouquet of Cuvée Corton 2014 is full-bodied, with fruity accents of blueberry, redcurrant and flowers such as violets, evolving towards undergrowth, animal, leather, pepper and licorice. On the palate, it's powerful and full-bodied, structured and willingly demonstrative: chewy and full-bodied. Firm and straightforward, this Corton needs time to blossom.
To enjoy now or drink in a few years' time, this wine can be fully appreciated with a duck breast with spiced honey on its chickpea cream with cumin.
