酒莊於1731年由Michel Bouchard於布蒙(Beaune)成立，可說是布爾岡其中一家歷史最悠久的葡萄酒莊。為了在Côte d'Or建立一個非凡的酒莊，他們於19世紀及20世紀初，收購了不少優秀的村莊。如今酒莊坐擁130公頃的葡萄園，12個特級園(Grand Cru)，74個一級園(Premier Cru)。
Meursault Genevrieres是一個享負盛名的產區，1855年Lavalle 博士在其知名的著作《Histoire et Statistiques de la Vigne et des Grands Vins de la Cote-d》中，把它列為頂級佳釀(Tête de cuvée)，當時仍未有一級園和特級園這兩個術語。現時Bouchard Pere & Fils在這一級園擁有 2.65 公頃（約 15%）的葡萄園，通常是最先採收Chardonnay的酒莊。

(Robert Parker's rating: 93 points)
2016 Meursault 1er Cru Genevrières 非常出色，在杯中綻放出柑橘油、清脆的Anjou西洋梨、蜂蠟、濕石和乾花的香氣。酒體中等到濃郁，深沉而敏銳，入口優雅柔滑，酸度鮮明，緊密集中，收結優美。 這是一款活潑、酸度躍動的 Genevrières，會在酒窖中美麗地演化。

Tasting Notes:
(Robert Parker's rating: 93 points)
The 2016 Meursault 1er Cru Genevrières is excellent, unfurling in the glass with notes of citrus oil, crisp Anjou pear, beeswax, wet stones and dried white flowers. On the palate, the wine is medium to full-bodied, deep and incisive, with an elegantly satiny attack, a tangy line of acidity and a tight-knit, concentrated core, concluding with a beautifully delineated finish. This is a racy, acid-driven Genevrières that will evolve beautifully in the cellar.
