Deep ruby in colour with aromas of wild cherry, blackberry, cedar and a touch of mocha and tobacco. On the palate it shows ripe red and black fruit framed by firm, muscular tannins and a savoury, earthy thread that’s typical of Pommard. The long finish is peppered with graphite-like minerality and a faint spice - this is a robust, ageworthy Burgundy village wine with real presence.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTop food pairings:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRoast beef or rib of beef\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGame birds with juniper and redcurrant sauce\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMature Cheddar or triple-cream cheeses\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eKate Says\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"Pommard at its best - dark, savoury and utterly compelling.

The estate works its ten hectares with a focus on low yields, late harvesting and careful vineyard work to express each parcel’s terroir — Les Vaumuriens being a small, stony village site just above the Rugiens. Their Pommards are known for precision, firm tannins and a mineral drive.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow it’s made:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVarieties: 100% Pinot Noir (Les Vaumuriens parcel).\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVineyards: Les Vaumuriens is on shallow, white marl soils, north-east facing; vines are around forty years old in many plots.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHarvest \u0026amp; extraction: Manual harvest with severe sorting, cold maceration and a relatively long vatting (around a month) with frequent punch-downs and controlled, cool fermentation to help extract ripe aromatics and structure.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePost-fermentation: Long post-fermentation soak to round tannins; élevage in oak with a measured use of new barrels to build texture and complexity.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eGood to know:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRegion:\u003c\/strong\u003e Pommard, Côte de Beaune, Burgundy, France\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStyle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Red, still, medium-bodied (full-bodied for Burgundy)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eClosure:\u003c\/strong\u003e Cork\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVegan:\u003c\/strong\u003e Not specified\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eABV: \u003c\/strong\u003e13%\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVintage:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2017\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy we love it:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis \u003cstrong\u003ePommard red wine\u003c\/strong\u003e captures the darker, more sculpted side of Burgundy - concentrated fruit, savoury complexity and a firm mineral backbone.
