Bouchard Père & Fils, with its 290-year-old history and counting, is one of the oldest wine estates in Burgundy. ​ ​ The Henriot Family took over the torch from the Bouchard family in 1995. With their extraordinary investment, Bouchard Père & Fils has become one of the largest landowners in Côte d’Or, covering 321 acres with 30 acres classified as Grand crus and 183 acres as Premier crus. ​ ​ Bouchard Père & Fils has committed to sustainable practice since 2000 and is aiming for becoming 100% organic in 2024. ​ ​ What I have in my glass is Pommard Premier Cru ’09. With 12 years aging in the bottle, the wine is showing beautifully now and still going strong. ​ ​ Gorgeous brick color with lighter hue on the rim. While pouring the wine into the glass, the aromas of fresh rose petals, pomegranate, raspberry, red cherry, and red plum scatter around me. Notes of allspice, nutmeg, clove, hay, and smoke slowly reveal themselves in the glass. It’s earthy and savory on the palate with hints of blackberry, licorice, thyme, and cedar. Silky tannin with bright acidity and enchanting finish. ​ ​ Pommard may be overshadowed by other starred appellations in Côte d’Or, but with its distinctive soil components, vineyard compositions and human influences, the uniqueness of Pommard has earned many loyal fans like me. 😉​ ​ As the saying goes “There are no great wines, only great bottles of wine.”, I find knowing the growers and the producers are more crucial than chasing the celebrated appellations and that’s my humble opinion. Cheers! 🍷​ ​ Special thanks to @mdhamerica and @BouchardPereetFils for the #sample ​ ​ #酒意思  #sipwithjoyce #thereviewcru  #sommation #finewine #pommard #bouchardpereetfils
