The wine region of Pommard Premier Cru

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.

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: Unbalanced
Said of a wine whose different elements are not perceived in a harmonious and pleasant way. This is not necessarily a defect, it can be a wine that is too young and not yet blended.
