Presentation
Pommard is one of the most renowned villages in the Côte de Beaune and produces exclusively red wines. Clos Micault is located just outside the village, under the Grands Crus road. It was formerly known as ‘Clos de Richebourg’. The reddish brown soil contains a high proportion of limestone from the piedmont and yields some of Burgundy's most tannic and robust wines.
