Formed from over two centuries of savoir-faire, these attributes are imbued in the culture of our House -  Bouchard Aîné \u0026amp; Fils. The outcome - a perfect mastery of grape selection, winemaking and ageing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe history of the first wine merchant families is rich and complex. However, few remain that continue this rich tradition. Our House, Bouchard Aîné \u0026amp; Fils is one of the exceptions amongst the few and is passionately proud of its two-century old history and tradition.   \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eThe historic heart of Burgundy wines, the town of Beaune gave its name to the vineyards of this south-east-facing slope, which extends over 6,000 hectares from Corgoloin to Maranges (a village located a few kilometres north of Chalon-sur-Saône).\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eThe richness and diversity of the Côte de Beaune terroirs give rise to great red wines that are ample, harmonious and refined, as well as great white wines that are balanced, complex and subtle. At the heart of the “golden triangle”, between Meursault, Puligny-Montrachet and Chassagne-Montrachet, Burgundy’s Grands Crus white wines are born. Overlooking the Côte de Beaune, the Hautes-Côtes de Beaune vineyards produce fresh and fruity wines, full of charm and elegance.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe Pinot Noir grapes for this elegant, soft wine are sourced from vineyards around 14 Côte de Beaune villages.
