Pommard Premier Cru

1998 Pommard Red Blend

The Bouchard Pere & Fils Pommard Premier Cru from the 1998 vintage is a stunning example of a red blend that truly showcases the unique terroir of the Pommard region. This elegant wine presents a beautiful, deep ruby color, hinting at the complexity within. On the palate, it offers a richness that is seamlessly balanced with bright acidity, making it both approachable and refreshing. The fruit intensity is prominent, with waves of dark cherry and blackberry flavors elegantly intertwined with subtle earthy undertones. Tannins in this exceptional wine are notable yet refined, providing structure while allowing the fruit to shine. Enjoyed best with rich dishes, this wine is definitively dry, lending itself to food-friendly pairings that amplify its exquisite character.

France

While it was not the first country to master winemaking, no other country has determined the course of wine and wine culture as much as France. From the sparkling wines of Champagne to the Pinot Noir and Chardonnay of Burgundy; from Bordeaux's sumptuous blends to Alsace's Riesling; and from the Loire Valley's Sauvignon Blancs to exciting new regions like Pays d'Oc in the south, France has given the world nearly all the major styles and grape varieties that dominate what we drink today. There are numerous reasons why France and wine are so inextricably linked, but perhaps the foremost is geography. Few places can rival France's unique array of hot and cool-climate regions and the abundant maritime influences and mountainous terrain found throughout the country.
