{"title":"Bouchard Pere et Fils","description":"\u003cp\u003eFew names are as deeply woven into the history of Burgundy as Bouchard Père \u0026amp; Fils. Founded in Beaune in 1731, this legendary house has spent nearly three centuries assembling one of the Côte d'Or's great vineyard portfolios. Its holdings include the celebrated Beaune Premier Cru Vigne de l'Enfant Jésus, acquired in 1791, alongside exceptional parcels in Meursault, Volnay, Pommard, and beyond. From beautifully expressive village wines to some of Burgundy's most coveted Premier and Grand Crus, Bouchard Père \u0026amp; Fils remains a benchmark for the region's extraordinary Pinot Noir and Chardonnay.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"bouchard-pere-amp-fils-nuits-saint-georges-1er-cru-les-cailles","title":"2018 Bouchard Père et Fils, Nuits-Saint-Georges 1er Cru “Les Cailles”","description":"\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"1\"\u003eFounded in 1731, \u003cb data-path-to-node=\"1\" data-index-in-node=\"17\"\u003eBouchard Père \u0026amp; Fils\u003c\/b\u003e stands as one of Burgundy's most legendary houses, shaping the region's historic winemaking identity through centuries of meticulous vineyard stewardship. In the Côte de Nuits, their holdings in \"Les Cailles\"—a famed, stony Premier Cru site situated on the prime mid-slope of southern Nuits-Saint-Georges—yield a wine of aristocratic depth and power that routinely rivals the neighboring Grand Crus of Vosne-Romanée. Six years of undisturbed, temperature-controlled cellaring have allowed this 2018 vintage to begin unwinding its youthful muscle. In the glass, it pours a deep ruby, unleashing a seductive bouquet of black cherry preserve, dark plum, smoked meats, and crushed clove. The palate is rich, velvety, and seamlessly structured, weaving a core of iron-like minerality through fine, polished tannins that carry into a long, mouth-watering finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"1\"\u003eCritical Acclaim:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"1\"\u003e92+ Points, Wine Advocate:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\" … offers up aromas of cherries, plums, cassis and smoked meats that are still quite youthfully fruit-driven at this early stage.
