Pommard 1er Cru

"Les Charmots"

2019

75cl

The same type of Burgundy wine for several centuries: red, colourful, fragrant, decisive and loyal. Pommard: This generous name sounds good. He alone fills the glass and the mouth. Located in the Côte de Beaune, between Beaune and Volnay, Pommard, its wines and its beautiful residences mark the place where the coast slopes slightly towards Autun. The land here once belonged to the Dukes of Burgundy, to religious institutions including the Abbey of Cîteaux, and to ancient families such as the Marey-Monge... Since the Middle Ages, Pommard was seen as "the flower of Beaune wines". It is the reference wine…
Exclusively a red from Pinot Noir. The Controlled Designation of Origin was recognized in 1936, among the first.

Tasting:
We must beware of pre-packaged ideas: the fame of Pommard in the nineteenth century earned it the image of an insistent and virile wine. In reality, terroirs, winemaking and age shade this portrait to offer a wine rich in sensitivity. Intense red, dark ruby ​​purple, her dress with mauve shimmers recalls Victor Hugo's words: "It is the struggle of day and night!"
Aromas of blackberry, blueberry or currant, cherry stone, ripe plum. A feline and wild evolution is not uncommon over time. Maturity directs him towards leather, chocolate, pepper. A wine to be left to age a little so that it opens up completely: round structure, delicate and decisive structure, fruity on the palate, the tannic paste then takes on its roundness. Rich ? Certainly.
This illustrious representative of the Côte de Beaune loves wild meats, as its tannins are massive and dense. Game with fur and feathers, braised or roasted, will find an essential partner in the Pommard. Stewed beef, lamb or poultry steaks will also appreciate the firm texture of its tannins and concentrated aromas. He naturally appreciates the company of cheeses with developed flavors: Époisses, Langres, Soumaintrain but also Comté.
Serving temperature: from 14 to 16°C.
