The Wine

Bouchard have been cultivating vineyards here since 1791, now own 2.32 hectares of this 9.39-hectare premier cru plot at the northernmost edge of Beaune, just beside the Savigny-lès-Beaune vineyard of the same name. The vineyard owes its name to the Germanic tribe of the Marcomans who, it appears, settled here in the 3rd. century AD. The layers of grey, marly chalk give this Premier Cru distinction, character, elegance and bouquet.

The grapes are harvested and sorted by hand. After total or partial destemming, fermentation takes place in small containers, with gentle pressing to ensure the best vinification. Depending on the vintage’s character, vatting lasts between 7.5 and 20 days. The wine then matures for 12 to 14 months in French oak barrels, 30-40% of which are new. On the nose, fruity aromas mingle with a musky touch and a hint of delicate oak. Firm and well-structured, it’s both full-bodied and elegant, with a distinct personality and excellent ageing potential.

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.
