Bouchard Père & Fils Grand Cru Le Corton 2015 750ml

Bouchard Père & Fils Grand Cru Le Corton 2015 is one of Burgundy's most prestigious expressions — a wine of extraordinary depth, complexity, and longevity from the legendary Corton Grand Cru vineyard on the Côte de Beaune. Bouchard Père & Fils is the largest owner of Grand Cru vineyards in Burgundy, and Le Corton is the crown jewel of their estate holdings. The 2015 vintage is widely regarded as one of the finest in a generation — a year of exceptional concentration, balance, and ageing potential.

Tasting Notes

• Aroma: Vibrant ruby with an expressive bouquet of red berries, black cherry, subtle florals, spice, earth, and beautifully integrated oak
• Palate: Powerful yet refined with a structured tannin framework, concentrated dark fruit, balanced acidity, and layers of complexity that unfold with time in the glass
• Finish: Exceptionally long, graceful, and persistent — a hallmark of great Corton

Winemaking

• 100% Pinot Noir from Le Corton Grand Cru, Côte de Beaune, Burgundy, France
• Hand-harvested from Bouchard's estate vines in the Corton Grand Cru appellation
• Vinified and aged in French oak in Bouchard's historic cellars at the Château de Beaune
