Jean Bouchard Chambolle-Musigny 2008

The Bichot Family started a relationship with the House of Jean Bouchard in 1926, going on to purchasing the House in 1955 and in the time that has followed their wines have gone from strength to strength.

Formerly dependent on the Cîteaux Abbey, the small village of Chambolle-Musigny is located at the heart of the Côte de Nuits, between Vougeot and Morey-Saint-Denis. The vineyard is located on the east and southeast-facing slopes of Chambolle-Musigny where the soil is brown limestone based.
