Bouchard Père & Fils
Discover the legacy of Bouchard Père & Fils at Premium Wine Exchange in Makati. This historic house is one of the oldest names in Burgundy. Moreover, it brings nearly three centuries of winemaking expertise to Manila.
The house began in 1731. Since then, it has evolved into a masterclass in balance. Specifically, it blends the scale of a historic négociant with the precision of a top-tier domaine. Today, the estate is under new stewardship and a refined vision. Consequently, Bouchard is entering a “Golden Age” of quality. Every serious collector should have these wines on their radar.
A Legacy Rooted in the Côte de Beaune
The history of this house is essentially the history of Beaune itself. Throughout the 19th and 20th centuries, the house expanded its holdings steadily. As a result, they now own some of the most iconic parcels in the region.
For example, consider the prestigious Beaune Grèves Vigne de L’Enfant Jésus. In addition, the Clos de la Mousse remains a famous Bouchard monopole. These signature sites are more than just vineyards. Instead, they are the very heart of the domaine’s identity. These specific sites are famous for a reason. They produce wines that define the Burgundian ideal perfectly. You can expect impressive structural integrity and elegance in every bottle. Furthermore, these wines offer a profound sense of place.
The Artemis Era: Precision and Sustainability
In 2022, a significant chapter began when Bouchard Père & Fils joined Artemis Domaines—the same prestigious group that stewards Domaine d’Eugénie and the legendary Clos de Tart.
Under the technical direction of Frédéric Weber, this partnership has accelerated a shift toward:
Organic Conversion: A deep commitment to viticultural health and soil biodiversity.
Estate Focus: A strategic emphasis on domaine-owned vineyards to ensure total quality control.
Restrained Winemaking: Moving toward “terroir-led” wines with less oak interference and more transparency.
The Wines:
The current collection reflects a disciplined approach and a focused present. From an electric acidity of an Aligoté or the powerful depth of a Corton Grand Cru, these latest releases represent the pinnacle of modern Burgundy.
