Bouchard Aine & Fils Pommard 2022: Robust, Charming, and Classically Burgundian

Bouchard Aîné & Fils Pommard is a robust, full-bodied Pinot Noir from the esteemed Côte de Beaune region in Burgundy, France. Crafted by the historic négociant Bouchard Aîné & Fils, the wine is drawn from village-level vineyards marked by pebbly clay-limestone soils and classic Burgundian structure. The 2022 vintage strikes a balance between power and elegance.

On the nose, this wine opens with vivid aromas of morello cherries, fresh figs, and citrus fruit, framed by woodland undergrowth, warm spices, and subtle oak. In the glass, the color is crystal-clear cherry red. The palate unfolds with powerful flavors of ripe red fruit, layered oak and spice, accompanied by smooth, full-bodied texture, finely grained tannins, and well-proportioned acidity.

This Pommard pairs beautifully with roasted game, lamb, coq au vin, and aged cheese such as Gouda or Comté, perfectly matching its depth and savory intensity. It has the structure for medium-term cellaring—drink now for primary fruit, but it should continue evolving over the next 5–8 years.

Whether you're relaxing with refined comfort food in Dubai’s Business Bay or savouring a candlelit dinner in Al Maryah Island, Abu Dhabi, Bouchard Aîné & Fils Pommard 2022 delivers classic Burgundian richness, elegant complexity, and a sense of terroir-driven finesse to every moment.
