Technical Details
Description
Pommard is for many the most familiar Burgundy appellation. The village itself lies
approximately 2 miles south of Beaune, and the total appellation is fairly extensive, covering 300 hectares, flanking a narrow valley which leads back into the Côte d'Or hinterland. The wines of Pommard are quite different from those of the neighbouring villages. They tend to be deeper and more concentrated than Beaune or Volnay wines and have a sumptuous perfume and bite without being too tannic. This wine requires a number of years to reveal itself
Food pairing
Duck confit - beef "Bourguignon" - mature cheeses
Tasting notes
Of a garnet colour, the Pommard 2011 reveals a nose of black cherries and spices, accompanied by notes of cloves. It is round in the mouth with lovely aromas of red berries and wonderful, persistent tannins.
