Bouchard Père & Fils
Founded in 1731, Bouchard is one of the most long-standing and important producers in Burgundy. Since their founding, they have been assembling a collection of some of the best Cote d'Or vineyards, including 12 Grand Crus and no less than 74 1er Crus.
With more prestige and history than most, Vinous's Neal Martin has praised them in the past because their wines are "well priced compared to others". As a grower, producer and negociant, it is undeniable that Bouchard Père et Fils has played a significant role in the history of Burgundy but they have now shed their negociant tag as their new owner Artémis Domaines, who also own the likes of Château Latour and now Eisele Vineyard in Napa, have a policy of wishing only to make wines from vineyards which they own.

Jasper Morris Inside Burgundy (94-98)At the moment the top of the Bouchard plot is not in production, so this is all from the terre rouge terroir. A rich imperial purple. The whole bunches come out on the nose but they prevent any inkiness settling in. This is beautifully orchestrated, nuanced, multi-textural, silky and then matt in alternation, very long, with a superb quality of dark red fruit. Tasted: November 2021 |

Jasper Morris Inside Burgundy (93-95)This is all on the red soil part of Bonnes Mares, vinified with 100% whole bunches. Pretty lighter brighter colour, some reduction, then whole bunch strawberries. Generous fruit on the palate, quite complex, very stylish and with fine promise. A fine long aftertaste. |

Tim Atkin MW (96)Fr d ric Barnier is content that Bouchard performs the harvest for this purchased fruit from Pierre Damoy, and he harvests these toward the end of the vintage. Bouchard has the same 80 ares every year. The nose has an inviting rose petal lift while the palate fills with sturdy black fruits. The mouthfeel has a lightly firm, custard-like density surrounded by smooth and lightly chewy tannins. High-toned oak delicately scents the long finish. 2025-40 |

Tim Atkin MW (95)The Bouchard vines follow the wall that separates the Clos from Ech zeaux. This vintage they've made a very accessible – though still rather intense – Clos Vougeot replete with blueberries, cherry pits and dried wild flowers. The tannins are curvy and elegant and the back palate lift keeps the mouth watering through the steady finish. 2023-34 |

Wine Advocate (93-95)This magnificent wine offers a medium-to-dark ruby color and an extraordinary nose of perfume, violets, and a myriad of red fruits. I was blown away by this wine's combination of precision, femininity, focus, and jammy, candied cherries. Traces of sweet, vanilla-infused oak grace this wine's complex and concentrated, yet lace-like flavor profile. Medium-to-full-bodied and silky-textured, this wine also possesses a long, soft, gorgeous finish that leaves the taster yearning for more. Finally, a La Romanee worthy of its name! Bravo! to Henriot, Hervet, and Prost for bringing Bouchard to such a high level of quality. |

Vinous (91-94)Full red-ruby. Explosive aromas of blackberry, violet face powder, mint and spices. Densely packed and tight, with dynamic flavors of dark berries, minerals, violet and licorice. Finishes very long and very fine, sweetened by new oak and lifted by floral perfume. |
