What reviewers say
“This wine has been produced by the House since 1907. 100% Chardonnay from several Premier Vru Vineyards. It has been aged for 9 to 10 months in Frech oak barrels. A golden lemon color. Aromas of melon, peach alongside gingerbread brioche. The full bodied palate is a delightful mix of the white fruit, suble oak, and vanilla with a hint of dried fruit. There is a long, rich, smooth finish.😋🥂🇫🇷🤸♂️”
From a top-rated Vivino review for this bottle.
Summary
Pale gold to gold colour with green shades. The nose is made of white flesh fruit, candied citrus aromas with a hint of brioche and ginger bread. The mouth associates richness, subtle oak and taste of dried fruit. Pleasantly rich wine.

How the score was built
We compare the reviewers of this bottle against every other wine those same people reviewed. Each review is scored relative to the reviewer's own baseline — four stars from someone who hands out fives means something very different from four stars from someone who rarely goes above three. Every reviewer then counts the same, so the result is a calibrated consensus rather than a star average.
- Global percentile
- Where Bouchard Père & Fils Beaune du Château Premier Cru Blanc lands against every wine we rank.
- In-cohort percentile
- The same comparison narrowed to its cohort — wines of the same type from the same country. A Chilean red is judged against Chilean reds, not against Champagne. Ranked against White · France (7,336 wines).
- AI-adjusted percentile
- The same reviewer-normalized score, corrected for how much confidence the sample supports: thin samples are pulled toward the corpus average. Each wine keeps the share n / (n + 53) of its measured distance from the average, where n is its calibrated-reviewer count, and the result is ranked on the same scale as the global percentile.53 is the median sample size across everything we rank. Here n is 1,030.
