Bouchard Père & Fils創立於1731年，是布根地最老字號的酒商之一，也是布根地品質實力最堅強的酒商四天王之一。1995年來自香檳區的Henriot家族買下這家酒商公司，加上後續買下Merusault的Ropiteau-Mignon酒莊、Chablis的William Fevre酒莊，為這家歷史將近300年的老字號注入新生能量，成為充滿活力且最具影響力的大酒商。
Bouchard旗下擁有為數眾多的特級園和一級園。Henriot買下本公司之後，實行了許多重要的改革。他要求比過往更高的釀酒標準，並購置新的設備讓生產過程更有效率。在他和釀酒師努力的經營之下，讓Bouchard Pere & Fils有了比以往更高水準的品質。
Note: from a .89 ha parcel of Puligny vines
Tasting note: At the risk of waxing poetic, the nose is genuinely like a spring day in a garden with utterly beguiling and multifaceted aromas of an implausibly broad variety of flowers, spices, discreet pain grillé, roasted nuts and a hint of garrigue that complements the dense, brooding and very serious flavors that are borderline massive yet, like the Cabotte, betray absolutely no sense of undue weight or blowsyness. The explosive finish stains the palate and coats the mouth with dry extract and this is one of the greatest examples of this wine that I have ever seen from Bouchard but be prepared to be patient. A true 'wow' wine.
