Pommard 1er Cru Les Bertins 2018 - Bouchard Père et Fils
The "Les Bertins" *climat* is situated in the southern part of the Pommard vineyard area, directly bordering Volnay and adjacent to "Les Fremiers." This unique location imbues the wine with a dual identity: it possesses the structure, muscular density, and earthy character typical of Pommard, while drawing finer tannins, early aromatic elegance, and a smoother texture—compared to the village's northern *crus*—from its proximity to Volnay.
On tasting, the deep garnet hue heralds an expressive bouquet dominated by black cherry, wild blackberry, and stone fruit notes, enriched by nuances of forest floor, sweet spices, and a touch of game as it ages. On the palate, the attack is forthright, fleshy, and velvety, driven by a solid yet tamed substance that leads to a persistent, distinguished finish. It is a wine built for cellaring and pairs beautifully with meats of strong character—ranging from beef tenderloin to game birds—once it has had a few years to mellow in the cellar.
