Beaune 1er Cru Clos Saint-Landry: It is on the site of this remarkable vineyard that we find the oldest traces of the Chardonnay variety in Beaune. Quite a rarity in this Pinot Noir territary. Before it was given the appellation of Clos Saint-Landry, this vineyard appeared under the name of Tielandry, meaning the estate of a certain Landry. It is then the property of the abbery of Maizieres before the purchase by Antoine Philibert Joseph Bouchard in 1791. Since then, Bourchard Pere & Fils has preciously kept the monopoly of this white Premier Cru of 1.98 hectares. Sauve aromas of fruit and flowers harmoniously blended with just the right touch of oak. This is a rich wine with expressive aroms and extraordinary smoothness. Good ageing potential.
Beaune 1er Cru Clos de La Mousse: The oldest trace of Clos de la Mousses dates back to 1220, when it was bequeathed to the church of Notre Dame de Beaune by canon Edme de Saudon. During the Revolution, this fine vineyard became divided up. During the 19th century, the Bouchard family bought several vineyards of this delicate cru to obtain exclusively. The 3.36 hectares of Clos de la Mousse were bought together on the 13th April 1872 with the acquisition by Antonin Bouchard of the last vineyard of "20 ares 28 centiares". This premier cru has been the monopoly of Bouchard Pere & Fils ever since. The surrounding wall can still be seen today. Fruit aromas combined with light toasty notes on the nose. Both fleshy and refined, Clos de la Mousse reveals its charms with delicacy. Good ageing potential.
