The estate and the wine |
|
|
Established in 1731, the House of Bouchard Père & Fils owes much of its fame to the intelligent moves it made throughout its history enabling it to create one of the finest vineyard estates in Burgundy. After 10 faultless vintages, it definitely sits among the ranks of the greatest Wine Houses and can proudly be considered one of the stars of French wine production. |
|
|
| |
|
The Nuits-Saint-Georges Rouge 2008 is remarkable for its delicate, slightly jammy, fruity aromas. On the palate, the wine is powerful with a long range. The mastery of the winemaking work on the 2008 vintage, that delivers its exceptional potential, is impressive. Built for laying down, the tannin will refine after a few years without affecting the essence of this wine: its richness. |

Grapes from purchasing agreements with carefully selected partners. According to the profile of the vintage, the vatting period can last between 8 and 15 days and the aging from 8 to 14 months in oak casks, of which 20 to 40% are new. |
