POMMARD

Pommard, with its smiling vineyards. lies between Beaune and Volnay where the Côte de Beaune makes a slight turn towards
Autun. These lands formerly belonged to the Dukes of Bourgogne, to religious houses including the abbey of Cîteaux, or to old
families such as the Marey-Monge family. As early as the Middle Ages, Pommard was thought of as the flower of Bourgogne
wines - the wine to which all others were compared. This appellation includes 28 Premiers Crus.

terroirs with great care and
patience, Bouchard Père & Fils

Côte-d’Or. Today the estate
boasts 130 hectares of vines, of
which 12 are classed Grand Cru
and 74 classed as Premier Cru. Bouchard Père & Fils mdhamerica.com

VOLNAY
Volnay, perched on the hill of Chaignot high up in the Côte de Beaune, occupies a narrow and steeply sloping site as if to allow
more space to the vines. The hill itself is oriented slightly differently from the general run of the country so that the vines face
South-East rather than East. Its velvety femininity is matched by its great aromatic intensity. Volnay includes 29 Premiers Crus
Climats.

Bouchard Père & Fils
The 3.76 hectares of this
exceptional Premier Cru have a
particular meaning for Bouchard
Père & Fils, since it was the first
vineyard bought by the House in
1775.
