Sumptuous and dramatic, Bouchard's 2018 Montrachet Grand Cru bursts with aromas of honeyed peaches, toasted nuts, white flowers, orange oil and fresh bread. Full-bodied, textural and enveloping, it's satiny and gourmand, with lively acids and a rich, expansive finish. If this year's Cabotte is more tightly wound and incisive, the Montrachet is irresistible for its power and scale.

About this wine
Bouchard Père & Fils stands as one of Burgundy's most respected négociant houses, with centuries of winemaking heritage and an unparalleled collection of vineyard holdings. This Montrachet Grand Cru represents the pinnacle of white Burgundy, sourced from one of the world's greatest terroirs, where limestone-rich soil and ideal microclimate produce Chardonnay of extraordinary complexity and refinement.
Montrachet's reputation is built on wines of remarkable balance: fresh citrus and green fruit character, saline minerality, and a full-bodied structure that ages gracefully. This white wine showcases the precision and elegance Burgundy is renowned for, with medium alcohol that allows the wine's subtle complexities to shine. Whether served alongside shellfish, lobster, or delicate white fish, this Grand Cru pairs beautifully with cream-based dishes, goat cheese, mushroom risotto, and truffle preparations, making it an exceptional choice for fine dining occasions.
A bottle of Montrachet from Bouchard Père & Fils is an investment in Burgundian excellence, offering the depth and sophistication that discerning collectors and connoisseurs seek for their cellars and tables.
