Bouchard Aîné & Fils house is perpetuating the tradition of quality, elegance and prestige in selecting and making fine wines which marvellously express all the richness of the French terroirs.

We have selected the best cool-climate terroirs in France and enhanced this selection with grapes from their terroir of origin.

The Pinot Noir grapes, grown in specific vineyards on clay-limestone soils, are subjected to a wide temperature range. As a result, they benefit from very favourable conditions for reaching full ripeness and expressing all the richness of the grape variety.

This wine is a perfect reflection of our commitment to enhancing varietals, offering complexity through its finesse but remaining accessible to all.

Cold maceration (4 days) to give a wine with a more intense colour. Each parcel is vinified separately with a long fermentation (minimum 3 weeks). Vatting ended with a post-fermentation hot maceration lasting 7 days, after which the wines were matured for 4 months on fine lees. A quarter of the cuvée is oak-aged, while the rest is matured in stainless steel vats to preserve the freshness and fruitiness of the grape variety.

Paul Bouchard (1814-1898) represents the 5th. generation of the family, he offered an international destiny to the House, but also to the entire region and its wines. Known as the Grand Conseiller, Paul was both a politician and a visionary.

Mayor,  Sub-prefect,  Departmental  Counsellor of Côte d’Or, he was not only involved in his city and the vines, but played also a major role in the technical and commercial development of Bouchard Ainé & Fils. He founded the Viticultural School of Beaune, whose teaching helped to understand the various diseases of the vine, including Phylloxera.

This technical development is also marked by a qualitative approach based on the art of blending, this Paul’s conception of quality has remained in the fundamentals of the House.

Full of history and with fine flavour our Héritage du Conseiller pay tribute to the numerous commitments of Paul Bouchard.
