2019 Bouchard Père & Fils Pommard 1er Cru, Burgundy, France

It has a well-defined bouquet of pure brambly red berry fruit, briar and sous-bois. The palate is medium-bodied with fine, quite supple tannins. Silky-smooth in texture, this feels very cohesive. A judicious touch of black pepper appears on the finish.

ABOUT THIS WINE

Manual harvesting, in small cases of 13 kg. Careful manual sorting of each grape. Following total or partial destemming on the vintage, fermentation in small containers, gentle pressing ensure optimal vinification. Depending on the profile of the vintage, vatting lasts 15 to 20 days. The wine is matured for 12 to 14 months in French oak, with 30 to 40% new oak. The cellars of the Bastions of the ancient Chateau de Beaune offer natural ambient conditions that are perfectly adapted to ageing the Premiers Crus.

The 2019 vintage in Burgundy is highly regarded for its balance of richness, freshness, and terroir expression, making it one of the best vintages of the decade.

Maison Bouchard Père & Fils has invested in the vine to bottle, the process is handled with meticulous care, to ensure the most faithful expression of each terroir. Installed since the beginning of the 19th century on the site of the ancient Châteaude Beaune, Maison Bouchard Père & Fils uses the underground galleries and bastions of this fortress built by LuisXI, 10 meters below ground, for the slow maturing of its wines under optimal conditions. Millions of bottles, including a rare collection of pre-phylloxera wines rest in the cellars today protected by 7 meter thick walls.
