Description

Founded in 1731 in Beaune by Michel Bouchard, Bouchard Père & Fils is one of the oldest wine houses in Burgundy, perpetuating traditions for nearly 3 centuries and 9 generations.

In 1775, Joseph Bouchard acquired the first vines in Volnay in the famous climat of “Caillerets”, and began to build the family estate. His son, Antoine Philibert Joseph Bouchard, seized the opportunity of the sale of the property of the clergy and the nobility confiscated during the French Revolution to extend the estate with the purchase of several plots in Beaune, including the famous “Beaune Grèves Vigne de the Child Jesus”.

The ambition to create an exceptional estate in the Côte d’Or crosses generations and new acquisitions in the most beautiful villages are added throughout the 19th century and again during the 20th.
