Bouchard Pere & Fils

Founded in 1731 in Beaune by Michel Bouchard, Bouchard Père & Fils is one of the oldest wine houses in Burgundy, perpetuating traditions for nearly 3 centuries and 9 generations.

In 1775, Joseph Bouchard acquired the first vines in Volnay in the famous “Caillerets” climate, and began building the family estate. His son, Antoine Philibert Joseph Bouchard, seized the opportunity of the sale of the goods of the clergy and the nobility confiscated during the French Revolution to extend the estate with the purchase of several plots in Beaune, including the famous “Beaune Grèves Vigne de the Child Jesus ”.

The ambition to create an exceptional domain in Côte d’Or crossed generations and new acquisitions in the most beautiful villages were added throughout the 19th century and again during the 20th century.

An Exceptional Domain

It is over time, through a blend of terroirs produced with patience and meticulousness, that Bouchard Père & Fils has built up a vast estate in Côte-d’Or which today has 130 hectares of vines.

A unique heritage in Burgundy, through its diversity and prestigious appellations: Montrachet, Corton-Charlemagne, Beaune Grèves Vigne de l’Enfant Jesus, Bonnes-Mares, Meursault Perrières. Names steeped in history and emotion, which encourage excellence and respect, including four monopolies and exclusives. Remarkable plots which are the subject of the most attentive care on the part of the teams responsible for the cultivation and maintenance of the vineyards of the estate.
