The property
It was in Beaune, in 1731, that the House of Bouchard Père & Fils was founded. Accumulating almost three centuries of history, Bouchard Père & Fils is one of the oldest wine houses in Burgundy. At the head of an exceptional estate in Côte d'Or, the 9th generation of the family still perpetuates this unique know-how in the art of making great Burgundy wines today.
Patience has built up over the years, the vineyard of the Bouchard Père et Fils estate now extends over 130 hectares of vines. Bringing together prestigious appellations with exceptional parcels, the Bouchard Père & Fils vineyard constitutes a unique viticultural heritage in Burgundy.
The vineyard
Exclusive to the estate, the "du Château" cuvée has been produced every year since 1907. This wine comes from 5 parcels selected for their complementary qualities: Aigrots, Sizies, Sur les Grèves, Teurons and Tuvilains. Covering an area of 9.92 hectares, the vineyard rests on soils composed, depending on the parcels, of clay, limestone and marl.
Vinification and ageing
Harvested by hand, the grapes undergo rigorous sorting before vinification. Before being blended, the grapes from each climate are vinified separately, in order to preserve the typicity of the different terroirs. The pressing is carried out in two stages, with first an evacuation of the first juices then a cyclic pressing of 2 hours according to the vintage. Ageing for 9 to 10 months in French oak barrels (up to 15% new barrels depending on the vintage) then 3 to 4 months in stainless steel tanks in the Bastions cellars of the old Château de Beaune.
