The Cras 2010 - Chambolle Musigny - 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. In the famous village of Chambolle-Musigny, in Côte de Nuits in the south of Dijon, is the vineyard of the "Cras". This climate takes its name from the word "Crai", which is a subsoil formed by an agglomeration of rolled stones, laid on a clay layer.
