Bouchard Père & Fils | François Perroy and Jan-Marc Blache

A Burgundy house, soon to be three centuries old, which cultivates the pursuit of excellence and the transmission of knowledge, serving exceptional wines with a worldwide reputation. "Our ambition is for our wines to stand the test of time and captivate wine lovers in 50 or 100 years, just as we currently enjoy tasting those of our predecessors." Frédéric Weber, cellar master, thus expresses what Bouchard Père & Fils stands for. Established in Beaune at the heart of the Climats of Burgundy for almost three centuries, this house cultivates the pursuit of excellence and the transmission of knowledge for the delight of wine enthusiasts. Of its 130 hectares of vineyards, three-quarters are in Premier and Grand Crus, including: 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. "We do not make the wine, we give birth to it." Cultivating and vinifying plot by plot is akin to a craft of art where listening and observation prevail over action, so that the terroir can express itself as accurately and naturally as possible. François Perroy's writing and Jean-Marc Blache's photographic narrative invite you to discover this house throughout this book where elegance rhymes with humility and sharing.
