Bouchard Père et Fils
Echézeaux 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.

About this Item
The 2007 Côte de Nuits harvest produced wines of genuine elegance and aromatic purity, a vintage defined by classical freshness and early accessibility that continues to offer rewarding and engaging drinking alongside gentle further development. Bouchard Père & Fils' 2007 Échézeaux is a Grand Cru of the village of Flagey-Échézeaux, its well-situated plots on clayey and limestone subsoil sheltered from the wind at the base of the Combe d'Orveau valley on stony ground ideally suited to producing wines of aristocratic finesse, mineral intensity and multi-decade longevity from 100% Pinot Noir. The wine is produced from 100% Pinot Noir, aged 12 to 14 months in French oak with 40 to 50% new barrels.

Critics Ratings
“Elegance and weight characterize this powerful wine. It has style, moving easily from the perfumed berry fruits to the blacker and dusty tannins, with the concentration of acidity and freshness within the firm texture. For aging.” - Roger Voss, Wine Enthusiast, 94/100 (Jan 2010)
