The estate

Founded in 1731 by Michel Bouchard, the Bouchard Père & Fils House is a true institution in Burgundy, France. Historically established at the Château de Beaune since 1820, the estate has patiently built a mosaic of terroirs. Acquired in 2022 by Artémis Domaines, François Pinault's holding company, and led by Frédéric Engerer, the House is now refocusing on its estate of around 60 hectares in the Côte de Beaune. A pioneer of sustainable viticulture in the region, the estate obtained organic certification for the entirety of its vineyard in 2025, thereby perpetuating its heritage with an unwavering commitment to quality.

The vineyard

The grapes behind this cuvée come from the Chambolle-Musigny appellation, located in the Côte de Nuits. This terroir, whose total surface area in production is close to 93 hectares, is distinguished by its shallow clay-limestone soils. This limited depth forces the vine to draw its resources deep within the fissures of the bedrock, thus promoting excellent water regulation and remarkable aromatic complexity. For this vintage, the fruit comes both from the estate's own parcels and from purchase agreements with carefully guided partner winegrowers.

The vintage

This year's climatic conditions enabled the berries to reach a beautiful level of ripeness, giving the grapes precise aromatic expression and optimal balance.

Winemaking and ageing

After a manual harvest, the berries undergo total or partial destemming. Fermentation takes place in small vessels to allow precise temperature control. Maceration lasts between 8 and 15 days, followed by a gentle pressing to preserve the delicacy of the tannins. Finally, the wine is aged for 8 to 14 months in French oak barrels, including a proportion of 20 to 40% new wood.

Grape variety

100% Pinot Noir.
