Beaune Clos Saint

It is on the site of this remarkable vineyard that we find the oldest traces of the Chardonnay variety Beaune. Quite a rarity in this Pinot Noir territory. Before it was given the appellation of Clos Saint-Landry, this vineyard appeared under the name of Tiélandry, meaning the estate of a certain Landry. It then became the property of the abbey of Maizières before the purchase by Antoine Philibert Joseph Bouchard in 1791. Since then, Bouchard Père & Fils has preciously kept the monopoly of this white Premier Cru of 1.98 hectares.

Bonnes Mares

Could the prestige of this Grand Cru be due to the work of man or the protection of the gods ? Some think that the names comes from the verb ” marer ” which meant ” cutlivate “, whilst others assert that the ” appellation ” originated in the bas-reliefs found on the site representing the mother goddesses, or “Bonnes Mères” who
protected the harvest. In 1996, Bouchard Père & Fils acquired 24 “ares” at Chambolle-Musigny and now produces a little over 1000 bottles of this wine per year.
