Descrizione

The Le Corton Grand Cru 2021 from the renowned Bouchard Père & Fils house represents excellence in Burgundy wine production. This wine, sourced from the vineyards located in the prestigious Corton area within the Corton Grand Cru appellation, is an extraordinary example of purity and intensity.

The 2021 harvest was marked by favorable weather conditions that allowed for the production of exceptional quality Pinot Noir grapes. The wine presents a deep ruby red color that is visually seductive. On the nose, the Le Corton Grand Cru 2021 offers a complex bouquet of aromas, ranging from ripe red fruits like cherries and strawberries to more evolved notes of sweet spices and vanilla, thanks to its aging in French oak barrels.

On the palate, this wine is revealed as powerful yet elegant, with a well-balanced tannic structure that promises excellent aging potential. The flavors of red fruits blend harmoniously with hints of chocolate and tobacco, culminating in a long and persistent finish.

Ideal for accompanying richly flavored dishes such as grilled red meats or dishes based on wild mushrooms, the Le Corton Grand Cru 2021 proves to be a wine of character, capable of elevating any culinary experience. To fully appreciate its nuances, it should be tasted at a temperature of 16-18°C.

Winery history

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.
