Bouchard Beaune Clos 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 territory. 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 then became the property of the abbey of maizieres before the purchase by antoine philibert joseph bouchard in 1791.

Maturing: 9 to 10 months in french oak with up
