Pommard 2022
Trade Tools
France / Burgundy
Pommard is a famous village in the Côte de Beaune, located between Beaune and Volnay, and renowned for production of red wines of great longevity. Soils are red clay and marl, and expositions range from East, Southeast, and South. Wines from the best vineyards are typically dense, dark, tannic, and with a robust presence. This village-level wine is sourced from multiple sites and blended to best represent the classic Pommard style. All fruit is hand harvested, destemmed, and fermented with natural yeasts.
Harvest Note
2022 was a hot and dry growing season which was saved by significant rain in June. This allowed the vines to withstand summer heat
and drought and led to ideal sanitary conditions and a modest yield yet concentrated vintage.
Tasting Note
Aromatically complex with scents of damp earth, forest floor, and black fruits. On the palate the wine is expansive and full-bodied, with ripe tannins and a bold structure. More subtle flavor nuances emerge with aeration over time.
