90-92Burghound.com

The wonderfully vibrant and beautifully well-detailed medium weight flavors brim with both minerality and sappy dry extract while delivering outstanding length...robust and well-balanced finish.

89-91The Wine Advocate

89-91Stephen Tanzer

Brooding aromas of crushed black cherry, blackberry, violet and licorice. Juicy but not hard on the palate, with strong purple fruit and licorice flavors showing surprising pliancy. Finishes with a firm spine of slightly tough, oak-driven tannins and very good length.

17Jancis Robinson

Perfumed and rather glorious. Great life and lift. Really racy and solid with fruit in the ascendant.

REGION

France, Burgundy, Côte d'Or, Côte de Beaune, Pommard

Pommard is a relatively large appellation of 1,655 vineyard acres just a few miles south of Beaune. Though it has no Grands Crus, Pommard’s 28 Premiers Crus are generally well regarded. The appellation produces only red wine, and wine writers often note that despite Pommard’s proximity to both Beaune and Volnay, its wines are very different from the Pinot Noirs produced in neighboring appellations. Robert M. Parker Jr. wrote that “The top Pommards are full-bodied, chunky, muscular, fleshy wines that impress one more for their power and expansive, mouth filling texture than for pure finesse.” The most famous Premiers Crus are Les Epenots and Les Rugiens.

TYPE

Red Wine, Pinot Noir

This red wine is relatively light and can pair with a wide variety of foods. The grape prefers cooler climates and the wine is most often associated with Burgundy, Champagne and the U.S. west coast. Regional differences make it nearly as fickle as it is flexible.
