Details
"Bouchard Aîné & Fils was a fully independent, family-owned firm, in the early 1960s. It regularly purchased its Chambertin, Clos de Bèze from the Domaine Dr Marion, one of the finest estates in Chambertin at the time, and I believe this 1961 will have come from the Dr Marion vineyards.
Paul Bouchard is a separate company - then, as now, part of the Bichot family wine firm, based in Beaune. The Bichots were already leading Burgundy exporters in the early 1960s, known for powerfully-built wines which could withstand the rigours of travel. Their Chambertin 1961 and Grands Echézeaux 1961 are likely to have held up well, given the superb storage conditions of this cellar."
Bouchard Père & Fils completes the trio of Bouchard bottlings. They have one of the greatest estates in Burgundy, and the Chevalier-Montrachet is consistently one of their flagship offerings."
