Bouchard Aine & Fils

Rully

From the Age of Enlightenment to the present. When Michel Bouchard settled in Burgundy in 1731 to establish a thriving business in the textile trade, followed by branching out to become a wine broker, he laid down the family's Burgundian roots. In 1750, his eldest son, Joseph, followed his father into the family business and established the Bouchards' presence on the Côte d'Or. Working closely with local winegrowers, this close collaboration resulted in the creation of wine merchant-winemaker-cellar, with the unyielding quest for perfection in quality, authenticity of style and prestige. Formed from more than two centuries of savoir-faire, these traits have permeated the culture of our house – Bouchard Aîné & Fils. The result: perfect mastery of grape selection, winemaking and aging. The history of the first wine merchant families is rich and complex. However, few continue this rich tradition. Our house, Bouchard Aîné & Fils is one of the exceptions among the few and is passionately proud of its two centuries of history and tradition.

Viticulture, the link between the vineyard and the cellar. A good wine requires good grapes. For example, Bouchard Aîné & Fils is as involved in the vineyards as in the winery. The work in the vineyards is fundamental. Limiting yields and using environmentally friendly growing methods are key factors for quality wines. Our goal is to bring the ripest, healthiest grapes to the winery in Beaune. This quality approach naturally also extends to the various stages of the winemaking process.
