Bouchard Père et Fils
Beaune-Grèves Vigne de l'Enfant Jésus 2007
A unique opportunity to acquire wines that define Burgundy’s legacy
About the SessionThese wines have been sourced directly from the ancient 15th Century cellars of Bouchard Père et Fils. They were imported into South Africa in March 2026 by Great Domaines via refrigerated container (reefer), ensuring optimal preservation throughout transit. These historic bottles, among the last remaining examples from the 20th and early 21st centuries, represent some of the Domaine’s most important cuvées. Fine vintages across the Côte de Nuits and Côte de Beaune back to 1972 have been selected, checked and captured on the Bouchard database, with a dedicated neck proof tag confirming their recent release from the Bouchard cellars. Bottles from the 2009 vintage and older were also waxed in anticipation of their recent release.

Critics Ratings
“Earth, bracken, but ripe, pure fruit. Smoke too. Rather a lot of oak, and a pretty firm tannic structure. Meaty hints. Has the seriousness of Burgundy and the ripeness of more New World styles.” - Richard Hemming MW, JancisRobinson.com, 17/20 (Mar 2011)
“One of Bouchard's signature wines, this is beautifully textured, a series of bright fruits, strawberries and sweet acidity. There are tannins, but this is lighter than in some vintages, a wine for short-term aging.” - Roger Voss, Wine Enthusiast, 91/100 (Jan 2010)
