Our tasting notes
Intense pinot colour with a wonderful cherry, berry fruit nose. A rich and luscious wine that could only be a really good Burgundy. The finish lingers and is as good as the start. Perfect with all red meats and game—indeed by itself. The temptation is to drink it all far too quickly.Wine data

About Pommard
Pommard, one of the classic Burgundy appellations is a small village in the Côte de Beaune district of the Côte d’Or. The vines here, which almost exclusively produce Pinot Noir grapes, grow on steep uneven slopes of clay-dominated soil, which climb high into scrub covered hills. The resultant wines tend to be well structured, meaty, and more powerful and tannic than other Pinot Noirs from the neighbouring appellations. This means that whilst Pommards can be drunk young they also have excellent potential for aging. Robert Parker rated 2005 as the best vintage in the Côte de Beaune since 1969 whilst Decanter Magazine described 2005 as an “exceptional vintage” in Burgundy.
