"The First Duty of wine is to be Red...the second is to be a Burgundy"
Harry Waugh
Burgundy is one of my favorite wines so we give you a lot of opportunities to taste some of the oldest and rarest wines from this region and we do not go long before hosting a “Once in a Lifetime” tasting like the one this Saturday night with our good friend Dr. Robert Maliner. He is from the 1936 vintage and still has thousands of vintage wines in his cellar so we are doing our best to help him drink as many of them as we can.

The Best Value in a Grand Cru White
2016 BOUCHARD PERE ET FILS CORTON CHARLEMAGNE GRAND CRU
Price: $245.00 Your Price: $199.00 Quantity in Stock: 61
A very concentrated vintage that needed a bit of time to start to come around and this wine has only started to open with lemon drop candy and green apple fruit, white flowers and a chalky mineral, sea shell notes, gaining in intensity and complexity as this wine opens. A rich and creamy wine on the tongue with a good amount of rich ripe tree fruit, tongue tingly minerality. This wine needs to be decanted for at least two hours and if you can keep some till the second day. Finish 50+ Most Excellent
The Best Value in Premier Cru Red Burgundy – Monthelie Les Duresses
2019 BOUCHARD PERE & FILS MONTHELIE LES DURESSES
Price: $61.50 Your Price: $54.12 Quantity in Stock: 53
Situated between Volnay and Mersault, the village of Monthélie is not as well-known as its famous cousins. Nevertheless, the first traces of vineyards here date back to the 9th century. The "Climat" "Les Duresses" spreads over the villages of Auxey-Duresses where it is the prize vineyard, and the village of Monthélie, where it is one of the most remarkable Premiers Crus. The 1.72 hectares of the Bouchard Père et Fils estate, often harvested a little later than the other vineyards of Monthélie, produce rich wines.
A Brief History of Bouchard Pere Et Fils
Founded in 1731, Bouchard Père & Fils now owns the most fabulous collection of famous vineyards, situated in the heart of the Côte d’Or, where the great wines of Burgundy are born. Bouchard Pere et Fils owns 130 hectares in cotes d'or making them the largest landowner of classified vineyards with 12 different Grand Cru and 74 different Premier Cru vines with legendary names : Corton-Charlemagne, Clos Vougeot, Montrachet, Beaune Grèves Vigne de l’Enfant Jésus, Volnay Caillerets, Meursault Perrières, Nuits-Saint-Georges les Cailles, to name only a few. The company trades from the old Château de Beaune, a fortress built in the 15th Century whose bastions with walls as thick as seven meters shield, in the best possible atmosphere, an unequalled collection of exceptional bottles. Many of these are over a hundred years old and originated before phylloxera invaded the French vineyards.
The cellars here were built under the reign of Louis the 11th during the 14th and 15th century. They were built by one of the dukes of burgundy to store arms so they are unique as this was not intended to house wine bottles. Louis the 16th gave this fortress to the town of Beaune and they were bought by the Bouchard Pere et Fils firm in 1820. After the French revolution all property of the church was confiscated and sold at auction and it was at this time that Bouchard bought up a lot of vineyards for a very reasonable price. Today if you were to put a price tag on the vineyards owned here it would be in the hundreds of millions of dollars. The have the largest cellar in burgundy with 50,000 bottles of old vintages going back to 1846 Meursault Charmes. They recork the bottles every 20-40 year, they are sleeping under 10 meters of earth and some of the walls of the cellar are 5-7 meters thick so the conditions are completely perfect and natural. They are consistently 13-15 degrees Celsius and the humidity is 80-90 percent.
You can see the old arms bins that now hold wine bottles here in the first picture. The second picture shows where the three fake walls were placed during the German occupation of this region during WW2. They have four fake walls constructed to conceal some of the oldest bottles from the Germans. The third shot is a wall demonstrating just how thick the construction is.
In 1995, the Bouchard family passed the torch on to a very old Champagne family, the Henriots, who have carried on the strategy established by the Bouchards over nine generations. The Domaine expanded in the Côte de Nuits by acquiring parcels in two Grands Crus: "Bonnes Mares" and "Clos Vougeot". Then in 1996 they acquired further vineyards in Gevrey-Chambertin Premier Cru "Les Cazetiers".
Finally, in 2005, the Maison inaugurated its new "Saint-Vincent" winery and barrel cellar. The technical team took advantage of 275 years of savoir faire and several years of observation world-wide to carry out this work, so as to maximize the quality of its wines. With this new winemaking facility, Bouchard Père & Fils is equipped to meet the challenge of the quest for excellence, without concession, in the production of the Grands Vins de Bourgogne.
Luc Bouchard hosted our group for the tasting at the winery and suggested a local restaurant, La Table de Guigone. This place was very unassuming from the street but the food was divine like the combination of Foie Gras and Sweet breads in a salad format which was spectacular. The leg of lamb was one of the best that I have ever had and the Beaune du Chateau wines that went with our meal were also incredible as this is one of the best value areas in Burgundy for both red and white.
If you want to go there while in Burgundy we recommend making reservations as many restaurants in Burgundy are only open 4-5 nights a week- Bouchard Pere et Fils however is one of the easiest wineries to visit as they are open to the public nearly every day of the week and have cellar tours everyday as well in addition to over a dozen wines available for tasting at no charge!! I may have let the cat out of the bag, if you are in Beaune there is no excuse for not stopping by this famous producer and taste through their wines, they are one of the easiest places to tour and see in Burgundy and the wines are excellent.
