The wine region of Pommard Premier Cru
28 Premier Cru climats over 115 ha in Côte de Beaune, Pommard exclusively red in Pinot Noir: robust and tannic reds with intense garnet robe, nose of black cherry, blackcurrant, blackberry, plum, blond tobacco and leather. Northern climats (Épenots, Pézerolles) finer, southern climats (Rugiens, Jarolières) more powerful toward Volnay. Dense and structured palate, demanding tannins when young, aging 10-20+ years evolving toward game, leather and spices. Muscular Burgundian signature.
The wine region of Burgundy
Absolute reference for great terroir wines: opulent, mineral Chardonnay in whites (chiselled Chablis, buttery Meursault, majestic Montrachet), fine and silky Pinot Noir in reds (full-bodied Gevrey, structured Pommard, delicate Volnay). Exceptional age-worthy wines with complex notes - red fruits, undergrowth, butter, hazelnut. Some lively Aligoté and light Gamay (Mâconnais). 29,500 ha, 84 tiered AOCs (Régionale, Village, 1er Cru, Grand Cru), 1,247 UNESCO Climats.
The word of the wine: Ugni blanc
White grape variety of Italian origin, and the main white variety grown in France. Its large bunches give fine, light and lively wines, suitable for distillation: today it is the main variety for making cognac and armagnac. Ugni blanc, which is a little richer in alcohol when grown in Mediterranean regions, is used in the blending of the Provence and Corsica appellations, often in association with other grape varieties that bring aromas and structure, such as clairette, grenache blanc or sauvignon. Ugni blanc is also used, on a secondary basis, in the production of certain white wines in Gironde (AOC Bordeaux, Entre-deux-Mers, etc.).
