✨ Technical Specifications
Pommard Premier Cru 'Les Chanlins' is situated on the steep, iron-rich slopes bordering the appellation of Volnay. This unique geographical positioning grants the wine a fascinating dual personality: it marries the classic, muscular structure and deep earthy power of Pommard with the high-toned, floral elegance and silky texture characteristic of its Volnay neighbor. Crafted by the historic house of Bouchard Père & Fils, the grapes are hand-harvested and undergo meticulous sorting before fermentation. The wine is then aged in French oak barrels within the subterranean cellars of the Château de Beaune. This terroir-driven Pinot Noir beautifully reflects the limestone-heavy soils of the climat, yielding a complex profile of dark cherries, forest floor, and refined, age-worthy tannins.
🍾 About the Producer
Founded in 1731 by Michel Bouchard, Bouchard Père & Fils is one of Burgundy’s oldest and most revered wine houses, headquartered at the historic 15th-century Château de Beaune. Over nearly three centuries of meticulous acquisition, the estate assembled an extraordinary mosaic of vineyards spanning roughly 130 hectares across the Côte d'Or, notably including prestigious Grand Cru and Premier Cru parcels. The house is dedicated to parcel-by-parcel vinification and careful oak aging within its subterranean fortress cellars, highlighting the subtle nuances of individual climats. World-renowned for its elegance, structure, and terroir transparency, Bouchard Père & Fils produces celebrated Pinot Noir benchmarks such as the iconic Beaune Grèves Vigne de L'Enfant Jésus alongside legendary Chardonnay masterworks from Corton-Charlemagne and Chevalier-Montrachet.
