Aromatically, the medium-to-dark ruby-colored Pommard 1er Cru (produced from the Combes, Rugiens, and Pezerolles vineyards) offers violet and blackberry aromas. This is an intense, explosive, medium-to-full-bodied, and velvety-textured wine. With its ripe red and black fruits, excellent depth, and soft tannin, this wine should drink well between 2000-2005. Bouchard's qualitative resurgence continues. It is extremely gratifying to see the efforts put forth by Joseph Henriot, this negociant's new owner and the talented duo of Misters Hervet and Prost, respectively the firm's director and wine-maker.
