Varietal

100 % Pinot Noir.

Tasting notes

Colour: light and elegant raspberry pink.

Nose: very pleasant, on fresh red fruits flavours such as raspberry and strawberry combined to citrus notes (grapefruit, tangerine) and a little English candy.

Palate: a very elegant, well-structured and fresh wine offering a frank yet supple attack. The mouth is truly balanced and fulfilled by a perfect combination between a beautiful sense of tension, an unctuous character and a light sensation of sweetness. The result is a very refreshing and harmonious wine, where purity and fruitiness are perfectly balanced ending on persistent and acidulous notes.

Serving suggestions

Ageing potential

A pleasant wine, ready to drink now or within 2 years.

Origins

Bouchard Aîné & Fils house is perpetuating the tradition of quality, elegance and prestige in selecting and making fine wines which marvellously express all the richness of the French terroirs.

We have selected the best « terroirs » to create this wine, sourcing Pinot Noir grapes from the south of France and adding extra value using grapes from their native soil.

The Pinot Noir grapes, grown in specific vineyards on clay-limestone soils along the Mediterranean coast, are subjected to a wide temperature range. As a result, they benefit from very favourable conditions for reaching full ripeness and expressing all the richness of the grape variety.

This wine is a perfect reflection of our commitment to enhancing varietals, offering complexity through its finesse but remaining accessible to all.

Vinification and maturing

Harvested by night at optimum maturity, in order to keep all the freshness and obtain nice colour and intensity aromas, the Pinot Noir grapes were directly pressed at their arrival at the winery.

Then, the press juice went through a static settling at low temperature (14-16°C / 57-60°F) for a gentle fermentation and conservation of the fine fruity aromas. Sowing of aromatic selected yeasts was then followed by a fermentation at 18°C (64°F) with micro-ventilation.

Once the malolactic fermentation was complete, the wine was racked and aged on fine lies, which were regularly stirred (kept in suspension).

History

Full of history and with fine flavour our Héritage du Conseiller pay tribute to the numerous commitments of Paul Bouchard (1814-1898). He represents the 5th. generation of the family and offered an international destiny to the House, but also to the entire region and its wines. Known as the Grand Conseiller, Paul was both a politician and a visionary. Mayor, Sub-prefect, Departmental Counsellor of Côte d’Or, he was not only involved in his city and the vines, but played also a major role in the technical and commercial development of Bouchard Ainé & Fils. He founded the Viticultural School of Beaune, whose teaching helped to understand the various diseases of the vine, including Phylloxera. This technical development is also marked by a qualitative approach based on the art of blending, this Paul’s conception of quality has remained in the fundamentals of the House.
