The 1933 Pommard from Bouchard Père & Fils was a marvelous wine that just seems to break every rule in the book. Deep garnet in color, it just exudes that elusive essence of Pinoté on the nose that is clearly undiminished by the passing decades, testifying the precocity of this long lost vintage. The palate is underpinned by fine tannin, shimmering with tension and displaying wondrous tension and focus. I wonder whether any Premier Cru fruit was blended? Whatever, a simply gorgeous ancient Pommard that shall stick in the memory. Tasted December 2015.
