Towards the end of the Emperor's life, the vineyards facing south were planted with chardonnay, to produce a white wine to avoid staining his white beard. In 1909, Bouchard Père \u0026amp; Fils acquired 60% of the prestigious vineyard at Le Corton (i.e. 6.93 hectares) which, has the rare particularity of being planted with either pinot noir or chardonnay. Today, Bouchard Père \u0026amp; Fils is the third most important owner in Corton-Charlemagne, with 3.65 hectares.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bouchard Père \u0026 Fils","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45630862393592,"sku":"7526","price":630.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0697\/2712\/5752\/files\/bouchard-pere-fils-corton-charlemagne-grand-cru-2019_964de0ca-d3d2-4997-a2ba-038f5fad0350.png?v=1737984350","url":"https:\/\/checkout.reservecellar.com.au\/products\/bouchard-pere-fils-corton-charlemagne-grand-cru-2019","provider":"Reserve Cellar","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
