Vins de France are produced from different wine regions of France. This quite new appellation (2009) allows for a greater liberty in winemaking compared to the appellation system for you can blend varietals from different regions and vintages, plus choose the best technique to enhance them. It is a great opportunity for their winemaker to express his skills with a wine with a steady style and unique personality. This wine perfectly reflects the winemakers commitment towards the enhancement of varietals, and more specifically Pinot Noir and Chardonnay.

The grapes were harvested during the cool hours of the night to keep the typical freshness of Chardonnay. Each plot was vinified seperately so to respect their true nature, and get a finer and purer wine. After the fermentaiton process, the wines were aged for 3 months on their fine lees in stainless steel tanks.

P.Bouchard (1814-1898) represents the 5th generation of the family; he was a charismatic character who offered an international destiny to the House, but also to the entire region and its wines. He was a brilliant statesman, combative and restless defender of great causes, devoting his life to serve his region, his city and the wines. His commitment led him to found a viticultural school (that is still open today!) to perpetuate the tradition of passing on wine-growing techniques and skills to future generations. The Heritage du Conseiller range celebrates what we consider his legacy: the passion for the Chardonnay and Pinot Noir grapes, and the will enhance their natural qualities using their traditional know-how.

Food Pairing: It should be an elegant companion to mixed salads, grilled meats, fish and shellfish.
