General Information
The centenary winery Bouchard Père & Fils produced Bouchard Père & Fils Gevrey-Chambertin Village 2015, a brilliant single-varietal pinot noir crafted with the same dedication and care applied to their premiers and grands crus that have made the brand famous worldwide.
With a powerful nose and great aging potential, this red wine originates in the heart of the Côte de Nuits, specifically in Gevrey-Chambertin, the same commune from which legendary wines by Bouchard Père & Fils such as the iconic Chambertin-Clos de Bèze Grand Cru, revered by none other than Napoleon Bonaparte, hail. Drawing on their winemaking tradition and expertise spanning nine generations and nearly three centuries of history, they created this more accessible pinot noir of exceptional quality, particularly exquisite for pairing with all kinds of red meats, whether roasted or stewed, as well as aged and full-bodied cheeses.
