Domaine Bouard-Bonnefoy is a small family estate based in Chassagne-Montrachet that has developed a strong reputation for traditionally crafted white Burgundy produced with meticulous vineyard work and minimal intervention in the cellar. The premier cru vineyard “Les Combes” in St-Aubin sits on high-altitude limestone slopes near the border with Chassagne-Montrachet, where thin soils and cooler exposures produce Chardonnay of notable tension and mineral precision. Bouard-Bonnefoy’s restrained use of oak and emphasis on freshness allow the site’s chalky structure, citrus-driven energy, and refined Côte de Beaune character to come through clearly.
