The Crystalline Expression of a White Burgundy by Bouchard Père & Fils

The estate

Founded in 1731 in Beaune by Michel Bouchard, the house of Bouchard Père & Fils is a historic institution in Burgundy. Both a merchant house and the owner of a vast vineyard spanning over a hundred hectares, the estate stands out for its remarkable proportion of Premiers and Grands Crus. Today, the property is owned by Artémis Domaines, led by Frédéric Engerer on behalf of the Pinault family, in partnership with the Henriot family. Blending tradition and modernity, the house is strongly committed to sustainable viticulture in order to express the full richness of its terroirs.

The vineyard

The grapes used for this cuvée come from plots cultivated according to strict environmental standards. Certified High Environmental Value (HVE) level 3 since 2015, the estate has banned herbicides and promotes biodiversity by maintaining hedgerows and grassy strips. This approach is part of a broader goal of full conversion to organic farming, ensuring fruit of exceptional purity.

Winemaking and aging

The Bourgogne Aligoté Domaine 2022 is crafted at the Cuverie Saint-Vincent, a modern facility located in Savigny-lès-Beaune. The grapes undergo gentle pressing and gravity-based handling to preserve their integrity. Fermentation takes place in temperature-controlled tanks, a technique that helps retain all the aromatic brilliance and natural freshness of the fruit.
