Origins

Pommard is one of the most famous villages in the Côte de Beaune, situated 5 km south of the town of Beaune on the route de Grands Crus. The appellation covers 322 hectares and produces only red wines, with 36% of its wines classified as 1er Cru. It is the best-known red wine appellation in the Côte de Beaune, and the favourite vin de garde of the French.

On the lower slopes, ancient alluvial deposits, then in the middle of the hillsides, the clay-limestone soils are well drained thanks to a pebbly deposit of rock debris. Further up, we find Oxfordian marl (Jurassic), brown calcareous and brown calcareous soils. Iron oxide sometimes reddens the soil.

Facing east and south. Altitude: between 250 and 330 metres.

This wine comes from organic vineyards.

Vinification and maturing

Vinification in oak vats followed by maturing in barrels for 14 months, 20% new oak.

Vintage : 2013

The 2013 vintage was born in pain: with a long winter and gloomy spring weather conditions have greatly complicated the work in the vineyard and decreased yields (coulure and millerandage, hail damage, disease). White wines are generally fruity and balanced, with notes of citrus on the nose. They display a beautiful structure that combines vivacity and freshness.
