Jean Bouchard is a Burgundy house with a long standing history. The philosophy of the House of Jean Bouchard rests on four strong values; the family, the quality, the durability and sharing.
The village of Nuits-Saint-Georges, famous for its hospice and for its vineyards, is located at the heart of the Côte de Nuits. The Premier Cru vineyards are divided between Nuits-Saint-Georges (100.5 ha) and Prémeaux-Prissey (42.2 ha).
Brown limestone soil covers slopes with a Jurassic limestone base. The vines are planted on terraces.
Aged in stainless steel to preserve the freshness and fruity flavours of the varietal and oak barrels (30 to 40% new oak) in our cellars for 8 to 12 months to lend structure and complexity to the wine.
Tasting Notes
Brilliant deep ruby red. Fine and complex with delicate notes of oak followed by aromas of cherry and raspberry and a touch of bitter cocoa. Lovely tannic texture give a smooth, wine with good density. It has delicious savoury notes balanced with ripe prune, cherry and black fruit flavours.
Food Matching
This Premier Cru is easily matched with all types of red meats such as thyme-scented lamb shanks with olives, game such as haunch of venison with porcini mushrooms, or stir-fried vegetables. Perfect with mature cheese such as Brie, Cheddar, Comté or Naroilles.
