Bouchard Père & Fils Wine Dinner

Compass Room | Thursday 6 May

Founded in 1731 in Beaune by Michel Bouchard, Bouchard Père & Fils, is one of the oldest wine estates in Burgundy, perpetuating tradition for nearly three centuries crossing nine generations.

In 1775, Joseph Bouchard acquired his first vineyards in Volnay in the famous “Les Caillerets” climat and started to develop the family’s vineyard holdings. Joseph’s son, Antoine Philibert Joseph Bouchard, seized the opportunity to extend the family’s vineyard holdings during the French Revolution in Beaune including the famous “Beaune Grèves Vigne de l’Enfant Jesus.”

With experience, the company has modernised yet remains true to tradition and always respects the beauty and timelessness of its environment. The terroirs’ purity of expression, hard work, meticulous attention to detail, creativity… these are all part of the company’s family values.

Combining tradition and innovation, Bouchard Père & Fils works hard to bring out the distinctiveness of each successive vineyard and vintage, striving to make its wines exquisite works of art, each with its own personality and charm.

All over the world, the wines are served to mark important events, to awaken the senses and inspire culinary creations, delighting lovers of fine wine.

Compass Room | Thursday 27 May

A family heritage that has been flourishing since 1842.

Francois Thienpont is the proud heir of a Belgian family that has been dedicated to wine since the 19th century. His ancestors migrated to the Bordeaux’s region in the 1920’s, where they came to produce and trade wine. Vieux Chateau Certan, acquired by his grand-father Georges, Château Puygueraud and Le Pin count as some of their historic vineyards.

Wings was founded by François Thienpont in 1995, specialises in selling Bordeaux Grands Crus and markets the family’s wines. Its position as a preferred allocation recipient makes it one of the key players on the Bordeaux marketplace.

Wine of the Month

Stoneleigh Vineyard, Stoneleigh Sauvignon Blanc 2018, Marlborough, New Zealand

The aroma follows through to a palate that features ripe tropical fruit, melon and stone fruit flavours with a complex minerality that is balanced by a tight and fresh acidity. This vibrant and lively wine is light straw in colour with subtle green highlights. It displays lifted tropical fruit aromas, with the dominance of passion fruit, citrus blossom and grapefruit. [Suggested food pairing: white meat and seafood dishes] $298 per bottle

Brancott Estate Pinot Noir 2018, Marlborough, New Zealand

This wine presents aromas of warm spicy oak, blackberries and truffles. Lively plum, cherry, and raspberry notes are balanced by a savoury core with hints of nutmeg. Velvety tannins and bright acidity structure the wine beautifully, for good length of palate and overall harmony. [Suggested food pairing: duck dishes, creamy cheeses like Brie, barbequed meats with a hint of smoke, and mushroom or green herb based pasta dishes] $298 per bottle Available in all F&B outlets.
