Bouchard Père et Fils

Chapelle-Chambertin 2016

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

Bouchard Père et Fils
Chapelle-Chambertin 2016
3 (1 x 3) 750ml
The 2016 Côte de Nuits harvest produced wines of exceptional purity, fine mineral structure and classical aromatic definition, a vintage that has confirmed its place among the finest of the decade for Grand Cru red Burgundy and continues to be consistently praised for its combination of freshness, precision and genuine cellaring capacity. Bouchard Père & Fils' 2016 Chapelle-Chambertin earned 17.5 points from Richard Hemming MW at JancisRobinson.com. Chapelle-Chambertin is one of Gevrey-Chambertin's nine Grands Crus, its name recalling the chapel of Notre-Dame de Bèze that once stood at the heart of the vineyard, producing wines of refined elegance, mineral precision and fine aromatic complexity on well-drained limestone and marl soils in a privileged position on the finest slope of the village. The wine is produced from 100% Pinot Noir, aged 12 to 14 months in French oak with 40 to 50% new barrels.

Critics Ratings

“More charisma on the nose than their Échézeaux, with ripe red fruit, creamy texture, vanilla spices and a lovely meaty note on the palate. Complex, broad, nuanced and interesting. Finishes with soy and mushroom flavours.” - Richard Hemming MW, JancisRobinson.com, 17.5/20 (Jan 2018)
