Domaine Bouchard Père et Fils
Based in Beaune, Bouchard Père & Fils is a Burgundian estate whose commercial activities date back to 1731 and whose first vineyards were planted in 1775. Having joined Artémis Domaines in late 2022, it now cultivates around 60 hectares in the Côte de Beaune, mainly in Beaune, Volnay, Monthélie, Pommard and Meursault. All of its plots will be certified organic from the 2025 vintage onwards.

Histoire du domaine
Michel Bouchard, a cloth and fabric merchant originally from the Dauphiné region, settled in Beaune in 1731 and simultaneously established a wine trading business. His son Joseph became his partner in 1746, before taking over the business in 1750. In 1775, Joseph Bouchard acquired his first plots in the Les Combes vineyard in Pommard, marking the birth of the wine estate. In 1820, Bernard Bouchard purchased the Château de Beaune, whose underground galleries were gradually converted into ageing cellars; the estate’s headquarters have been based there since 1872. The Henriot family took control of Bouchard Père & Fils in 1995, and Joseph Henriot began acquiring further vineyards in 1996. The estate joined Artémis Domaines at the end of 2022. From 2024, the wine merchant business was discontinued in order to focus on the estate’s own vineyards and those under lease. As part of a reorganisation of the Côte de Beaune vineyard, Bouchard Père & Fils now focuses on around 60 hectares; Mickaël Baroin, technical director, oversees the winemaking. The conversion to organic farming, which began in 2009, will result in all plots being certified from the 2025 vintage onwards.

Histoire de la parcelle
The current site is the result of the consolidation, between 1815 and 1826, of several small plots formerly designated notably as "Aux Échanges", "En La Romanée" and "Sentier au Prêtre". General Louis Liger-Belair progressively brought them together, and the whole was subsequently registered under the name "La Romanée" in 1827. The terroir was recognized as a Grand Cru appellation d'origine contrôlée on September 11, 1936.
