The vineyard \u003cspan\u003eowes its name to the Germanic tribe of the Marcomans who, it appears, settled here in the 3rd. century AD. \u003c\/span\u003eThe layers of grey, marly chalk give this Premier Cru distinction, character, elegance and bouquet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Details\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eVariety\u003c\/strong\u003e - Pinot Noir\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCountry\u003c\/strong\u003e - France\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eRegion\u003c\/strong\u003e - Burgundy\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eExtra\u003c\/strong\u003e - Cork\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eYear\u003c\/strong\u003e - 2010\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eVolume\u003c\/strong\u003e - \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e750ml\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e\u003ca id=\"more_desc_btn\" href=\"#pro_more_desc\"\u003eAbout the Wine Maker \u003cimg alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0616\/4211\/3208\/files\/right-arrow_480x480.jpg?v=1647847041\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"pro_more_desc\"\u003eToday 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. \u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Bouchard","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52891942682808,"sku":"SKU-240226032822","price":295.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.vauclusecellars.com.au\/products\/bouchard-beaune-1er-cru-les-marconnets-2010","provider":"Vaucluse Cellars","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
