Collection: Pommard

Pommard is one of the classic village appellations in Bourgogne, more specifically in Côte de Beaune south of Beaune in Côte-d'Or. Here only red wine is produced, and the grape is always Pinot Noir. The appellation is confined to the single commune of Pommard, so every bottle in this collection comes from precisely this place with a clear stamp of origin.

Pommard is known for a colourful and powerful style with good ageing potential, which sets the village apart from several of its neighbours in Côte de Beaune. In the glass you typically find aromas of blackberry, blueberry, gooseberry, cherry stone and ripe plum. It is a wine with structure and body that can be enjoyed in its youth as well as kept a few years in the cellar.

In addition to the classic village wines, the appellation holds 28 premiers crus, where Les Rugiens and Les Epenots are among the best known. On the label, POMMARD and POMMARD PREMIER CRU may be followed by the name of the individual Climat the wine comes from, so you can navigate by the specific parcels if you want to delve deeper into the differences between the vineyards.

Pommard was recognised as AOP in 1936 on the basis of earlier court rulings from 1926 and 1932 that established the appellation of origin. Today the appellation is governed by a cahier des charges, and its long history reflects how firmly rooted this style is in its region.

If you are fond of powerful Burgundian Pinot Noir with depth and ageing ability, Pommard is an obvious place to begin. If you want to explore more widely, you can also take a closer look at our selection from Frankrig to see how the grape and the region unfold in other appellations.
