The Chaboeufs 2011 - Nuits Saint Georges 1er Cru - Bouchard Ainé & Fils
By installing a flourishing trade in linen and linen in Burgundy in 1731 and then developing a wine commissioner activity, Michel Bouchard was at the origin of the Burgundian roots of the family. His eldest son Joseph took his suite in 1750 and anchored the Bouchards in the Côte d'Or. Closer to men and to the vines, they have developed a unique know-how, the business of merchant - winemaker - breeder with sole concern the constant search for quality, authenticity in style and prestige in the name. For more than two centuries, it has been the mission of Maison Bouchard Aîné & Fils. The history of the great families of wine merchants in Burgundy is rich and complex. However, at present, few are still active. Maison Bouchard Aîné & Fils is an exception, with a few others, which can boast more than two centuries of history. Nuits-Saint-Geoges, "Les Chaboeufs" is a climate of 2.80 hectares on clayey-limestone soil shallow and slightly stony. This wine comes from an old vine with very precise characteristics: high cropping of vegetation, controlled yields with severe disbudding, vintage in green if necessary, controlled grassing, little or no fertilizer inputs, protection of the vine that respects the environment and ancillary fauna.
