Bouard Bonnefoy Chassagne-Montrachet Les Macherelles 1er Cru 2017

Chardonnay  |  France

Too late, we are SOLD OUT!
2017 vintage may indeed turn out to be one of the most exciting years for white burgundy quite a while. This is a bit reticent at first, but give it some air or a decant and prepare to be WOWED. From a vineyard only a few football fields away from the legendary Montrachet, this is ratified dirt, and Fabrice Bouard's natural, hand-off approach to winemaking makes this vineyards minerality shine. If you appreciate subtlety and nuance in your white Burg like we do, you are going to love this.

About the Producer

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.


Nothing rattles winemaker Fabrice Bouard, who in his 40s is already on his second career—his first being a bodyguard for French dignitaries. His wife, Carine Bonnefoy, represents the fourth generation of a Chassagne winemaking family. Their estate has always been small, a labor of love with wines mostly sold to locals and friends. In 2006, Fabrice and Carine took over the family production, with Carine’s father (well-known in the village for being one of the more diligent grape growers around) assisting in the fields.
