Pommard Premier Cru Les Poutures
The ‘Les Poutures’ climat, whose name comes from ‘pastures’, covers around 4 hectares on the lower part of the vineyard, in the middle of the hillside.
Wine Production
The soils are composed of ancient alluvium, clay-limestone, well drained thanks to a gravelly bed of rock debris. Iron oxide in the form of veins sometimes reddens the soil.
Hand-picked, the grapes are first sorted in the vineyard and then in the winery as soon as they arrive. They are then destemmed and crushed before being put into temperature-controlled vats. Vinification begins with cold maceration (8-10°C) for 5 to 6 days, followed by fermentation with the introduction of Burgundy yeasts, with daily pumping over and punching down of the cap.
Tasting Notes
Rich, concentrated aromas of red and black fruit with lovely woody and spicy notes. Ample, rich and racy wine in the mouth. Beautiful structure with silky tannins, fruity, woody and spicy flavours. Concentrated, powerful and well-balanced, this is a fine wine for laying down.
Food Pairing
The perfect accompaniment to roast or oven-grilled meats, rib of beef, rump steak with pepper, marinated game or poultry in sauce, not forgetting creamy Burgundy cheeses that are not too strong.
