According to the house's own history page, Michel Bouchard established a flourishing trade in cloth and canvas in Burgundy in 1731 and then developed a wine commission business, forming the family's Burgundian roots. His eldest son Joseph succeeded him in 1750 and anchored the Bouchards in the Côte d'Or. Working close to people and vines, they developed a unique savoir-faire, the métier of négociant-vinificateur-éleveur, with a constant concern for quality, authenticity of style and prestige of name. The house states that this has been the mission of Maison Bouchard Aîné & Fils for more than two centuries, and that while few of the great Burgundy wine négociant families remain active, the house stands as an exception with a few others in being able to claim more than two centuries of history.
