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 hyper- technology 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.
