The story
The Maison's history dates back to the early 18th century: Michel Bouchard settled in Beaune and the family began trading wine. In the following decades the Bouchard family acquired significant vineyards. The Maison's historic headquarters are linked to the Château de Beaune, and ownership passed to the Henriot family in 1995; more recently the Maison became part of Artémis Domaines. The official website cites 1731 as the year activities began in Beaune and 1775 as the date of the first acquisition of vineyard plots.
Production philosophy
The Maison’s approach combines respect for Burgundian heritage with sustainable practices: enhancement of the terroir, soil conservation, attention to biodiversity, and gradual conversion to organic farming, with commitments to responsible resource management and the protection of local and human heritage.
Terroir and vineyards
Vineyards concentrated in the Côte de Beaune with plots in the appellations of Beaune, Volnay, Monthelie, Pommard and Meursault; the estate’s history is closely tied to the town of Beaune and its historic cellars beneath the Château.
