Location
Located between Beaune and Volnay, Pommard is one of the most famous villages in the Côte de Beaune for its red wines.
Soil The red-brown soil is rich in hard limestone. Located in the southern part of the commune, “Les Rugiens” is one of the appellation’s greatest single vineyards.
Grape variety 100 % Pinot Noir.
Vinification Traditional Burgundian vinification in open vats with long maceration and punching of the cap. Aged in oak barrels (25 to 30% new oak) for 14 to 16 months to lend structure and complexity to the wine.
Robe Beautiful deep ruby red in colour.
Nose The first nose is redolent of stone fruit (cherry) underpinned by green notes of blackcurrant buds followed by smoky nuances.
Palate Endowed with lovely structure, the palate features flavours of red fruits. The tannins are silky and the finish is complex with subtle notes of oak.
Serve with Finely prepared choice cuts of meat such as steak with béarnaise sauce or steak tartare with herbs and Provencal tomato crumble as well as game such as haunch of venison with porcini mushrooms. When it comes to cheese, try this wine with the local Citeaux, Amour-de-Nuits or with a Livarot.
Serve at 15 to 16°C.
Cellaring potential From 5 to 10 years.
