Bouchard Père & Fils : Pommard 1er cru 2017

Wine Advocate-Parker :
I underestimated Bouchard's 2017 Pommard 1er Cru just after bottling, and the wine has opened up in the last eight months to present quite a different picture. Revealing a rich bouquet of cherries and wild berries mingled with rich soil tones, smoked meats, spices and violets, it's medium to full-bodied, fleshy and charming, its generous core of sapid fruit framed by ripe tannins. Any asperity that I perceived in the spring has vanished.
