✨ 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
Established in Beaune in 1731 by Michel Bouchard, Bouchard Père & Fils stands as one of Burgundy's most venerable houses, headquartered within the historic fortress ramparts of the 15th-century Château de Beaune. Across centuries of dedicated plot acquisition, the estate developed an unparalleled patchwork of terroirs spanning classic limestone-clay slopes throughout the Côte de Beaune and Côte de Nuits. Now under the stewardship of Artémis Domaines, the house has phased out third-party négociant volumes to focus purely on estate-grown holdings, completing full organic viticultural certification across its vines. Modern vinification takes place in the gravity-flow Cuverie Saint-Vincent in Savigny-lès-Beaune, where precise temperature management, gentle extraction, and judicious French oak aging highlight transparent site expression. Celebrated benchmarks include the historic Beaune Premier Cru Grèves Vigne de l'Enfant Jésus, the monopole Beaune Premier Cru Clos de la Mousse, Beaune du Château, and crystalline expressions of Chevalier-Montrachet and Meursault.
