"Perhaps somebody up there doesn’t like Pommard? After a respite in 2015, this was battered by the elements again in 2016, losing 80% to frost and mildew. Quantities may be small, but there’s nothing wrong with the quality. Made up of equal parts young and old vines from the 5.23-hectare vineyard, plus some press wine, it’s a remarkably fine, self-assured Premier Cru with textured tannins, plum and red berry flavours and subtle underlying tannins."

The world's most influential fine-wine producer and the benchmark for Bordeaux, Burgundy, Champagne and the Rhone. Its appellation (AOC) system codifies geography, grape and method, and its wines set the global standard for age-worthiness and terroir expression.
Produces the world's most revered Pinot Noir and Chardonnay from a mosaic of tiny, terroir-defined climats. Its hierarchy of village, Premier Cru and Grand Cru vineyards makes site the ultimate expression of quality.
Pommard is a village AOC in Burgundy's Cote de Beaune with noted Premier Crus, producing dark, powerful and tannic Pinot Noir reds of firm structure and earthy depth built for aging.
A thin-skinned, terroir-sensitive red producing perfumed, silky and elegant wines of red-berry fruit and earthy complexity. It reaches its apogee in Burgundy.
