Marks and reviews

Decanter

The 2022 Bouchard Corton boasts concentrated mulberry and black plum aromas, hints of violets and liquorice, and sweet oak spice. The texture is velvety and dense, with supple tannins and a pleasantly persistent finish underscored by a saline mineral note. Despite the location of the vines near the top of the slope, the grapes were picked early; 40% of the crop was fermented as whole clusters. This wine should open up in five to seven years and drink for another 25 beyond that.

James Suckling

Stuart Pigott

This has the tannic power we expect from this appellation, but in a plush and restrained form. That core is wrapped in a velvet blanket, but the dominant aromas are dark and earthy, with touches of licorice or pine bark. Very long, compact and earthy finish that promises a very long life. From a 3.55-hectare parcel on shallow red-clay soil that's almost next to the forest at the top of the hill and faces east. Drink or hold.

The elegance and complexity of a great Corton wine

The property

The House of Bouchard Père & Fils was founded in Beaune in 1731. Accumulating almost three centuries of history, Bouchard Père & Fils is one of the oldest wine houses in Burgundy. At the head of an exceptional estate in Côte d'Or, the 9th generation of the family continues to perpetuate this unique know-how in the art of making great Burgundy wines.

Patience has allowed the vineyard of Bouchard Père et Fils to expand to 130 hectares of vines. Bringing together prestigious appellations with exceptional parcels, the vineyard of Bouchard Père & Fils constitutes a unique viticultural heritage in Burgundy.

The vineyard

The Corton Grand Cru Domaine from Bouchard Père & Fils is made from a 3.20 hectare vineyard located within the historic parcel of the eponymous appellation. Facing east, this terroir rests on stony clay-limestone soils. The only red Grand Cru in the Côte de Beaune, Corton is also the only one divided into sub-climates.
Bouchard Père & Fils owns 60% of the "Le Corton" climate, an exceptional terroir undergoing organic conversion that stands out for a rare feature: it can be planted with both pinot noir and chardonnay.

Vinification and aging

Hand-harvested, the grapes undergo rigorous sorting and total or partial destemming depending on the vintage. Fermentation in small containers. Gentle pressing. Maceration from 15 to 21 days depending on the vintage profile. Aging is carried out for 16 to 20 months in French oak barrels (including 25 to 30% new barrels) in the Bastion cellars of the old Château de Beaune.

Blend

Pinot noir (100%).
