Bouchard Père et Fils

Le Corton 2014

A unique opportunity to acquire wines that define Burgundy’s legacy
About the Session

These 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.

About this Item

Le Corton 2014
3 (1 x 3) 750ml
The 2014 Côte de Beaune harvest produced wines of exceptional purity, fine mineral precision and classical structure, a vintage of notable freshness and genuine longevity that stands as one of the most elegantly composed and characterful efforts of the decade for red Burgundy. Bouchard Père & Fils' 2014 Le Corton earned 16.5 points from Jancis Robinson MW at JancisRobinson.com. Le Corton is the historic Grand Cru vineyard that gave the Corton appellation its name, the only red Grand Cru on the Côte de Beaune, with Bouchard Père & Fils farming 3.20 hectares of limestone and clay soils at the summit of the hill since 1909, a position of unique topographic distinction that endows its wines with mineral depth and extraordinary longevity. The wine is produced from 100% Pinot Noir, aged 12 to 14 months in French oak.

Critics Ratings

“45% new oak. Dark ruby. Power and some strong savour on the nose and then very charming sweet fruit on the palate that should see out the fairly powerful tannic charge. Just very slightly bitter on the finish.” - Jancis Robinson MW, JancisRobinson.com, 16.5/20 (Jan 2016)
