A RARE SELECTION OF RED AND WHITE BURGUNDY FROM THE CELLARS OF BOUCHARD PERE & FILS
"This is one of the most famous Burgundy houses, as well as largest and greatest. The Bouchard family owns an amazing 234.65 acres of vineyards in the Côte d'Or, with 175.37 of these acres consisting of Premier Crus and Grand Crus. The cellars, which are in the ramparts of the Château de Beaune, have an existing stock of four million bottles, with vintages going back as far as 1830. Nine generations of fathers and sons have carried on the Bouchard firm, originally founded in 1731. The current father and son combination is Claude Bouchard, and his son Jean-François. While the cellars are not open to the public, the underground caves are among the most remarkable ones in France." Robert Parker, Burgundy, 1990
We are honored to offer some of the oldest wines that still remain in Bouchard's cellars and which were send directly from the domaine to Los Angeles for this sale.
Meursault, Les Charmes--Vintage 1865
Côte de Beaune, Bouchard Père & Fils
Wax capsule
A Very small collection of pre-phylloxera vintages stored in the Bouchard's cellar in Beaune. Regularly recorked these old wines remain in perfect condition. 1865 was one of the greatest vintages of the period. The Charmes noted only once, at a Hublein pre-sale tasting in the USA: bright buttery gold appearance, most appealing, 'smoky' old Chardonnay nose, dry still sound as a bell, delicious. May 1981
A further 20 years in the bottle will make little or no difference. MB
