Pommard 2018
Trade Tools
France / Burgundy
With Volnay to the south and Beaune to the north, Pommard is situated on an east- and southeast-facing slope between 240 and 380 meters above sea level with a high-clay, calcareous soil. The grapes are handpicked and sorted, then undergo fermentation. After a long maceration, a proportion of the wine is set to age in French oak barrels. The wine is bottled without fining or filtration.
Harvest Note
This was a very warm and dry vintage with a few violent storms. Production volumes were reduced, however quality within the red wines is very high.
Tasting Note
Full-bodied with forward ripe red berry fruit and hints of damp clay and mossy forest floor notes.

About the Grape
Pinot Noir
In France, makes a silky, deceptively powerful wine of elegant, complex aromas and subtle, red fruit flavors, with earthy, floral, mushroom and mineral notes. In California, shows ripe, sweet characters.
