Domaine Bouard-Bonnefoy Chassagne-Montrachet Blanc 2014

Domaine Bouard-Bonnefoy, owned by Frabrice Bouard and his wife Carine Bonnefoy, is located in the town of Chassagne-Montrachet with just roughly 10 aces of vines and only 20-odd barrel production each year.

Consider the family's hand-cranked wooden press, the cramped family cellar and the bottling "line," where each bottle is corked and labeled by hand. While space and a lack of technology may keep their production miniscule, the quality of their wines is high in part because they can dedicate sufficient attention to every winemaking step.
