Bouchard Findlayson
Bouchard Finlayson is both a family affair and a place of collaboration.
A labour of love that sees the marriage of Old World winemaking heritage with
New World innovation.
The estate was established in South Africa’s Hemel-en-Aarde valley in 1989, a groundbreaking partnership between acclaimed Burgundian winemaker
Paul Bouchard and trailblazing local winemaker Peter Finlayson. With a shared passion for Pinot Noir, they transformed the valley’s virgin soil into vineyard and laid the foundations for the cellar of Bouchard Finlayson. In 2000 the Tollman family purchased the estate, realizing a long-held dream to own a vineyard in Africa.
