Description
Some of the darkest, deepest and sturdiest Pinot noir of Burgundy, Pommard is one of the two villages in Côte de Beaune—along with Volnay—that is recognized for its impressive Pinot Noir.
The best Pommards will be concentrated in flavors such as black cherry, blackberry and dark chocolate, have dazzling aromas of violets, menthol or wild herbs and a firm and powerful finish. They typically demand some time in the bottle to reach their peak.
Tasting notes
This dense wine full of young tannins and rich fruit comes from a small parcel wholly owned by Château de Santenay. Its structure is richly integrated into the fruit and acidity, with delicious red-cherry flavors and good acidity at the end.-Wine Enthusiast
