Producer

Producer

The Charmes-Chambertin vineyard, situated on clay-limestone soils, benefits from a microclimate ideal for Pinot Noir. The vines, some several decades old, have deep roots in a rich and complex terroir, promoting the full expression of the grapes' ripeness. The southeast exposure of the plots allows for optimal maturation, giving the wines a beautiful concentration and harmonious structure. Meticulous work in the vineyard, combined with sustainable viticulture practices, ensures exceptional quality for every vintage.

Owner and history

Domaine Bouchard Père & Fils is currently managed by Artémis Domaines, which has preserved the family heritage while bringing a modern vision. Passionate about their craft, they are committed to respecting winemaking traditions while innovating in their winemaking practices. Their dedication to quality and excellence is reflected in every bottle produced, making this estate a must-visit in Burgundy. Their hard work and love for wine create wines that speak of the terroir and the history of the region.

Vinification and aging

The winemaking process for this Charmes-Chambertin Grand Cru begins with the hand-harvesting of carefully selected grapes. After partial destemming, the berries are placed in vats for a cold pre-fermentation maceration, allowing for the extraction of delicate aromas. Fermentation occurs with indigenous yeasts, promoting an authentic expression of the terroir. Aging in oak barrels, some of which are new, lasts approximately 15 to 18 months, allowing the wine to develop its complexity while subtly integrating the oak notes. Each step is carried out with precision to guarantee a wine of great finesse.
