Bouchard Père & Fils is a renowned Burgundy producer that has meticulously maintained the monopole (sole ownership) of the Clos St-Landry vineyard in Beaune since 1791. This historic Premier Cru site is one of the rare places in the Pinot Noir-dominant Beaune region where the Chardonnay grape variety has flourished for centuries.

An attractive story is told about this appellation: Charlemagne was very fond of the wine from Le Corton which, at the time, was red. Towards the end of the Emperor's life, the vineyards facing south were planted with chardonnay, to produce a white wine to avoid staining his white beard. In 1909, Bouchard Père & Fils acquired 60% of the prestigious vineyard at Le Corton (i.e. 6.93 hectares) which, has the rare particularity of being planted with either pinot noir or chardonnay. Today, Bouchard Père & Fils is the third most important owner in Corton-Charlemagne, with 3.65 hectares.

Tasting note : Intense fruit and toasted aromas blended with the mineral notes typical of this appellation on the nose. A rich, powerful wine with a strong personality. Very good ageing potential.

JS 94 points from JS Wine Ratings
This is very open, across a broad palate that shows ripe apples, pineapple and light tropical fruit. Hints of cream. Full-bodied, flavorful and delicious now.” - Tasted on Nov 5, 2020 by James Suckling

PR 93 points from The Wine Advocate
The 2018 Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru is performing very well from bottle, offering up inviting aromas of pear, green pineapple, citrus oil, white flowers, lemon curd and fresh pastry. Medium to full-bodied, deep and nicely concentrated, it's muscular and structured, with racy acids and fine reserves of dry extract. This should age with class..” - Tasted on Oct 15, 2020 by William Kelley

布夏爾父子酒莊是布根地地區一個知名的葡萄酒生產商,自1791年起就一直對貝恩的聖朗德里專有園區(Clos St-Landry)進行精心維護,成為其獨家所有權。這個歷史悠久的優質園區是貝恩產區少有的特例,在以黑皮諾為主的地區中,香檳白葡萄已經生長數個世紀之久。

有一個吸引人的故事講述了這個產區的來歷:查理曼大帝非常喜歡科爾東產區當時生產的紅酒。在帝王生命的最後時光,面向南方的葡萄園被種植了香檳白葡萄,以生產白酒來避免沾染他潔白的鬍鬚。1909年,布夏爾父子酒莊收購了科爾東(Le Corton)這個著名園區60%的土地(約6.93公頃),這片園區有著罕見的特點,既種植黑皮諾也種植香檳白葡萄。如今,布夏爾父子酒莊已成為科爾東-查理曼產區第三大地主,擁有3.65公頃葡萄園。

品酒感受: 濃郁的果香與烘烤香氣在鼻間交織,與此產區典型的礦物質氣息融為一體。這是一款豐厚強勁、個性鮮明的葡萄酒,具有出色的陳年潛力。

"酒體寬廣,展現出成熟的蘋果、鳳梨和淡淡的熱帶水果香氣,還有奶油的味道。酒體豐滿,風味濃郁,現在就很好喝。"- 2020年11月5日品鑑

"2018年科爾東-查理曼特級園的表現非常出色,散發著誘人的梨、青鳳梨、柑橘油、白花、檸檬醬和新鮮糕點的香氣。酒體中等偏大,味道濃郁,結構有力,酸度銳利,幹物質儲備豐富。這款酒應該能夠優雅地陳年。"- 2020年10月15日品鑑
