Pommard is one of the most renowned villages in the Côte de Beaune and produces exclusively red wines.
The reddish brown soil contains a high proportion of limestone from the piedmont and yields some of Burgundy's most tannic and robust wines.

Aging potential: 5 to 7 years and more.
Tasting
Complex nose combining notes of red and black fruit (raspberry, blackcurrant...) with subtle hints of oak, smoke and spices. The palate is rich and fleshy and is supported by a bold yet well-integrated tannic structure. This wine boasts character, but remains elegant and is endowed with lasting flavours on the finish.
Food pairings
Red meats, roasted or served in a wine sauce
Medium to mature cheeses
