Pommard
Pommard is one of the most famous villages in the Côte de Beaune, situated 5 km south of the town of Beaune on the route de Grands Crus.
Wine Production
It is of traditional Burgundian type. Harvested by hand, the grapes are sorted at the wineries as soon as they arrive. After this, they are destemmed and crushed and then introduced in thermo-regulated tanks. The vinification begins with a cold maceration (8°-10°C) for 5 to 6 days, then the fermentation is carried out with the introduction of Burgundy yeasts, with daily punching down and pumping over.
The ageing continues in 228 litres barrels, of which about 30% new barrels for 9 months.
Tasting Notes
This Pommard is rich, powerful, showing a certain concentration mixing berries (blackcurrant, currant, blackberry, cherry stone), toasted woody notes, some peppery and leather notes. In the mouth, chewy tannins well supported by a velvety structure and complex, fruity, spicy and animal flavours. Very good length.
Food Pairing
It's the perfect companion for tasty, sophisticated cuisine: fine beef or lamb, marinated game or a platter of mature cheeses.

Analytical Data
About the Vineyard
The appellation covers 322 hectares and produces only red wines, with 36% of its wines classified as 1er Cru.
On the lower slopes, ancient alluvial deposits, then in the middle of the hillsides, the clay-limestone soils are well drained thanks to a pebbly deposit of rock debris. Further up, we find Oxfordian marl (Jurassic), brown calcareous and brown calcareous soils. Iron oxide sometimes reddens the soil.
