This great wine comes from Bouchard Père & Fils' own vineyard in Corton-Charlemagne. It belongs to one of the largest white Burgundies and is very rare. The wine has intense aromas of fruit and toast with notes of minerality. The Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru reveals an attractive bouquet of ripe orchard fruit, citrus, spring flowers and pastry cream. On the palate, the wine is full, elegantly glossy and precise, with a fleshy fruit core tempered by firm acidity, ending with a delicately chalky finish. The 2020 is cool and precise with excellent concentration, but not an ounce of fat on his muscular body, this is a white burgundy marathon runner. Intense, chalky minerality is accompanied by subdued creaminess in the dangerously fresh, long finish. From a plot of 3.65 hectares at an altitude of 320 meters on the east side of this site. From organically grown grapes.
FACT: The wine is in our conditioned Wine Warehouse and if you come to pick up the wine you will also receive a nice discount. We are almost next to the national road with plenty of parking space. Click here for address

Founded in 1731 by Michel Bouchard in Beaune, Bouchard Père & Fils is one of the oldest wineries in Burgundy. With nearly three centuries of family tradition, this winery has played a significant role in the development of Burgundy's wine culture.
In 1775, Joseph Bouchard expanded the estate with his first vineyards in the renowned "Les Caillerets" in Volnay. His son, Antoine Philibert Joseph Bouchard, further grew the family estate during the French Revolution, acquiring vineyards such as the famous "Beaune Grèves Vigne de l’Enfant Jésus".
In 1820, Bernard Bouchard purchased the historic Château de Beaune, a former royal fort from the 15th century. This site offers ideal storage conditions for Bouchard Père & Fils' rare and historic wines, with cellars reaching depths of up to 10 meters. Here lies a unique collection of bottles, including a Meursault Charmes 1846—a remarkable piece of wine history.
Bouchard Père & Fils owns 130 hectares of vineyards, including 12 Grand Cru and 74 Premier Cru plots. Renowned vineyards such as Montrachet, Corton-Charlemagne, and Bonnes-Mares are part of the estate, representing the best of Burgundy wines.
Since 1731, Bouchard Père & Fils has sought to capture the unique character of Burgundy's terroirs. In 2005, the winery invested in an innovative facility in Savigny-lès-Beaune, where grapes are precisely handled through a gravity-based system. Annually, more than 100 different wines are vinified and carefully aged in oak barrels.
The estate of Bouchard Père & Fils stretches 48 kilometers from north to south, offering protection against local weather incidents such as hail or frost. Each plot is carefully managed, and the estate has adhered to sustainable farming practices for years. During harvest, the grapes are hand-picked and meticulously selected, ensuring high quality in every bottle.
After bottling, the wines are stored in the centuries-old cellars of Château de Beaune. Thanks to a constant temperature and natural humidity, the Grands Crus mature steadily, retaining their quality long after bottling, sometimes for several hundred years.
With care and respect for Burgundy's traditions, Bouchard Père & Fils produces wines loved worldwide. These wines are perfect for celebrating important moments and complement fine culinary dishes. Each new vintage brings a fresh expression of the terroir and offers wines with unique character.
Through a rich history, sustainable agriculture, and modern techniques, Bouchard Père & Fils has established a lasting reputation in the world of Burgundy wines, inspiring wine enthusiasts globally.
