2020 Bouchard, Last Call!
Bouchard is one of those historic Burgundy Estates that has stood the test of time and seems to be on a continual rising trajectory of fame. If not from my emails droning on about it, surely you know by now that Domaine Bouchard has been acquired by one of France’s wealthiest individuals, luxury apparel titan François Pinault's Artémis Domaines. Chateau Latour, Clos Tart and the Araujo Estate are some of the prior wine acquisitions. It looks to be an interesting run at competing with LVMH’s (Moet Hennessy Louis Vuitton) style of world domination in luxury goods and wine.
Domaine Fevre in Chablis has already been quietly sold off to the Rothschilds, and it is my understanding a number of Bouchard’s lesser vineyards are currently in the process of being sold.
On some reliable sources, the plan is to keep the very best of the holdings and create an ultra premium range of wines. What that exactly means is still up for interpretation but rest assured, if Clos de Tart can be used as an example, prices will most definitely be on an upward trajectory.
I’ve probably visited Bouchard more than any other Burgundy Domaine. I can’t tell you how many old bottles of Bouchard I’ve tasted over the years that stand toe to toe with the best Burgundy has to offer - in both colors! One thing I’ve learned from those countless visits, is that among the 50 or so wines in their portfolio, there are a select few that they hold most dear. They are the wines they show at their tastings and therefore, the wines I most often offer. You will find these listed below. Year in and year out, they always deliver.
These represent the last remaining stock I have available of the 2020 vintage - all at the original prices! In a year from now, you are going to look back on these prices and wish you would have bought more!
When they go, they are gone forever! Incredible vintage at prices you will never see again.
