Summary

Where nearly three centuries of Burgundian mastery meets modern precision, Domaine Bouchard Père et Fils stands as Beaune's most distinguished wine house, commanding 130 hectares across the Côte d'Or's most coveted appellations.

Since 1731, this legendary domaine has defined Burgundy excellence through an unparalleled portfolio spanning 12 hectares of Grand Cru and 74 hectares of Premier Cru vineyards.

Founded by Michel Bouchard in the heart of Beaune, the estate has remained at Burgundy's epicenter for nine generations, accumulating iconic parcels including the legendary Beaune Grèves Vigne de l'Enfant Jésus monopole and Volnay Les Caillerets, first acquired in 1775. Under winemaker Frédéric Weber's direction, the domaine has embraced both tradition and innovation, implementing sustainable viticulture across 450 unique plots that stretch 48 kilometers from north to south.

This extraordinary diversity allows Weber to craft wines that authentically express each terroir's distinct character while maintaining the house's signature elegance and precision. The domaine's flagship wines include their monopole Beaune Grèves Vigne de l'Enfant Jésus, prestigious Grand Cru Corton-Charlemagne, and exceptional Volnay Premier Cru Les Caillerets.

Weber's philosophy centers on minimal intervention winemaking, allowing each vineyard's unique geology and microclimate to shine through.

The estate's investment-grade wines consistently earn critical acclaim, with production carefully limited to maintain exclusivity and quality. These ultra-premium Burgundies represent some of the region's most collectible bottles, sought after by connoisseurs worldwide for their remarkable aging potential and authentic terroir expression.

The historic Château de Beaune, dating to the 15th century, serves as the domaine's magnificent headquarters, housing extensive cellars carved into Beaune's limestone foundations. Private tastings are available by appointment only, offering exclusive access to rare library wines and barrel samples. The château's atmospheric cellars provide an unforgettable setting for discovering vertical tastings of their monopole vineyards.
