Bouchard Pere & Fils - Corton-Charlemagne - Grand Cru - 2018 - 750ml - Bouchard Pere & Fils

Bouchard Pere & Fils is a renowned wine producer based in Burgundy, France. The company has a rich history dating back to 1731 when Michel Bouchard founded the winery. Since then, the company has been passed down through generations of the Bouchard family and has become one of the most respected wine producers in the world. One of the most popular wines produced by Bouchard Pere & Fils is the Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru. This wine is made from Chardonnay grapes grown in the Corton-Charlemagne vineyard, which is located on the hill of Corton in the Cote de Beaune region of Burgundy. The vineyard has a south-east facing slope, which provides the perfect conditions for growing high-quality Chardonnay grapes. The production of Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru is a meticulous process that involves handpicking the grapes and fermenting them in oak barrels. The wine is then aged in oak barrels for 12 to 18 months, which gives it a rich and complex flavour profile. The resulting wine is a pale gold colour with aromas of citrus, white flowers, and toasted nuts. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied with a creamy texture and flavours of ripe fruit, vanilla, and a hint of minerality. The wine has a long and elegant finish, which makes it a perfect pairing for rich and creamy dishes such as lobster or foie gras. Bouchard Pere & Fils is known for producing high-quality wines that reflect the unique terroir of Burgundy. The company has a deep respect for tradition and uses traditional winemaking techniques to produce wines that are both elegant and complex. The Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru is a perfect example of the company's commitment to quality and tradition.
