Pommard Bouchard 2012

Pommard belonged to the thirteenth century to Alix de Vergy, wife of the Duke of Burgundy
Eudes II. In 1224 and 1240, she donated it to the archbishops of Lyon. Then,
Pommard successively became the property of the ducal estate, large families
and religious orders. With the Revolution, the property was split up, as
across the vineyards of Côte d'Or. The floors and basements give the
Pommard color, strength and exemplary aromatic expression. As wrote
Victor Hugo, the wines of Pommard were \"breath, inspiration and sometimes genius
\".

Region Description

(pee noh nwahr)—A tricky grape to grow, Pinot Noir makes some of the best wines in the world. The prototype wine is red Burgundy from France but Oregon, California, New Zealand, and parts of Australia also produce good Pinot Noir. The wine is lighter in color than Cabernet or Merlot with relatively high alcohol, medium-to-high acidity, and medium-to-low tannin. Its flavors and aromas can be very fruity or earthy and woodsy, depending on how it is grown. It is rarely blended with other grapes.
