Bouchard Père & Fils (French edition) by François Perroy and Jean-Marc Blache

Bouchard Père & Fils, an emblematic wine house of Burgundy, is a living witness to the history and viticultural expertise of this globally recognized region. Founded nearly three centuries ago, this house has perpetuated a tradition of excellence by emphasizing the transmission of knowledge and the perpetual quest for perfection in producing exceptional wines.

This book, written by François Perroy and beautifully illustrated by the photographs of Jean-Marc Blache, is an invitation to discover the unique universe of Bouchard Père & Fils. Frédéric Weber, the cellar master, aptly summarizes the ambition of this house: "Our ambition is that our wines traverse the ages and enchant enthusiasts in 50 or 100 years, just as we today take pleasure in tasting those of our predecessors."

Located in Beaune, in the heart of the Climats of Burgundy, the house Bouchard Père & Fils spans an estate of 130 hectares, three-quarters of which are classified as Premiers and Grands Crus. Among these exceptional terroirs are prestigious names such as Montrachet, Chevalier-Montrachet, Meursault, Volnay, Pommard, Clos Saint-Landry, Clos de la Mousse, Vigne de l’Enfant Jésus, Corton, Corton-Charlemagne, Bonnes-Mares, Clos de Vougeot, Chambertin…

In this book, the pen of François Perroy and the photographic narration of Jean-Marc Blache capture the essence of the house Bouchard Père & Fils. They take us through the legendary vineyards of Burgundy, where each plot is meticulously cultivated and vinified in respect of traditions. Wine is not made; it is given birth to. This philosophy is at the heart of the approach of Bouchard Père & Fils, where cultivation and vinification plot by plot are akin to artisanal craftsmanship. Here, listening and observation take precedence over action, so that the terroir can express itself as accurately and naturally as possible.

This book is more than a simple tribute to a wine house; it is a celebration of the art of viticulture in Burgundy. Bouchard Père & Fils embodies elegance, humility, and sharing, values that are reflected on every page of this work.
