Over the centuries, the House has been devoted to acquiring highly renowned parcels, in order to build a prestigious domaine. The famed vineyards include: Beaune Gréves Vigne de L’Enfant Jésus, Chevalier-Montrachet, Montrachet, Corton, Corton-Charlemagne, Bonnes-Mares and Clos Vougeot to name a few. In 1995 this exceptional collection was purchased by Joseph Henriot, and is today part of Maisons & Domaines Henriot. Maison Bouchard Père & Fils has invested in a modern vinification techniques.
The star of the Macon appellations lies at the foot of the Solutre and Vergisson cliffs that rise high into the sky. Pouilly-Fuisse not to be confused with Pouilly Fume which is a wine from the Loire – has become very famous throughout the world. Enthusiasts like its elegance and lively, silky texture. The 2012 Vintage: Pale light golden color with aromas of stone and tropical fruits, with a waft of floral. The palate shows ripe apple and peach flavors with citrus notes. This medium-body wine has good balance with a smooth creamy finish, ending with mineral tones. Very Nice!
Cheers!
