Bouchard Beaune 1er Cru Les Marconnets 2019
The Wine
Bouchard Père et Fils, who have been cultivating vineyards here since 1791, now own 2.32 hectares of this 9.39-hectare premier cru, situated at the northernmost end of Beaune, right next to the Savigny-lès-Beaune vineyard that shares its name.
92 Pts Wine Spectator 'This bright red offers juicy cherry and raspberry flavors wrapped in spicy oak and a light grip of tannins. Savory, vegetal elements emerge as this winds down on the chewy finish. Best from 2025 through 2040.'

About the Wine Maker 
Today the Burgundian wine domaine of Bouchard Pere et Fils can trace its origins back to 1731, though it is no longer family owned. In 1995 the Champagne house Joseph Henriot acquired the company and quality has risen as a consequence. Bouchard is led by Stéphane Follin Arbelet, while the wines are made by Philippe Prost - who has been with the company since 1978. An impressive gravity-flow winery on the Route de Savigny, the Cuvérie St Vincent, was completed in 2005 and enables them to process all their wines with optimum efficiency. Bouchard’s total holdings comprise 130 hectares, including 12ha of grand crus and 74ha of premier crus, which makes them the largest vineyard owners in the Côte d’Or.
