Domaine Bouard Bonnefoy Bourgogne Blanc 2019

Intense aromatics of pear, white peach, and a hint of mint waft from the glass and continue gracefully on the palate to include orchard fruit and floral notes along with hints of spice. The palate is rich, refreshing and balanced with a core of minerality and captivating creamy oak on the finish. This is extremely enjoyable now, and will continue to offer pleasure the next 2 – 3 years.

Domaine Bouard-Bonnefoy Winery

Located in the town of Chassagne-Montrachet, the Bouard family estate has 5 hectares
of vineyards spread mainly Chassagne but also in the towns of Saint-Aubin and PulignyMontrachet.
Having forged a career in the Army, Fabrice Bouard moved the family's domaine away
from bottling for négociants and now concentrates on their own five hectares of vines
including seven different 1er Crus.

Domaine Bouard-Bonnefoy sets the standard for naturally made, profoundly flavorful white Burgundy. Consider the family’s hand-cranked wooden press, the mini-family cellar and the bottling “line,” where each bottle is corked and labeled by hand—when someone says they are searching for an authentic wine far removed from today’s hypertechnology and trends, they’re looking for Bouard-Bonnefoy wines. What Chassagne’s many beautiful vineyards offer, the Bouard-Bonnefoys capture faithfully—these are wines that astound with their pure aromas, their deep flavors and their ability to seduce from the very first sip.
