Origin

A famous Côte de Beaune appellation which takes its name from the village of Pommard.

The appellation extends over 313 hectares and is devoted solely to red wines, with 125 hectares classified as Premier Cru.

The vineyard is situated at an altitude of 250 to 330 m, on gravel and well drained clay-limestone soils.

Vinification and maturing

The grapes are collected in small ventilated crates, then painstakingly sorted at a table. Next, the grapes are entirely destemmed but not crushed (they remain whole) and transferred by gravity into a wooden vat. Maceration lasts around 3 weeks, with more-or-less frequent cap punching. The wine is aged for 14 to 16 months in oak barrels (20% new oak). Lastly, the wine is bottled with very light filtration.

Vintage : 2019

Winter was mild across whole Burgundy. Bud break started early April in our Domaine’s vineyards.

On April the 5th, a significant frost-freeze made damages in several plots. The villages of Rully and Mercurey were then less affected by a second freeze wave that occurred from the 13 to 14th of April, as the growers and people organized smoke screens to protect the vineyards.

The first grapes bunches appeared around the 20th of April.

Spring maintained damp but cold overall, during the whole month of May until flowering which began mid-June (10-15 of June.). This type of weather provided coulure and a very slow vegetative development of the vine.

Summer was then very hot (heatwave) and dry and causes “millerandage”.

Harvest took place in our estates from the 9th to the 24th of September under a radiant sun. The grapes showed good maturity and perfect balance. Throughout our estates volumes were down around 30%, with some plots more affected than others.
