Terroir

AOC Pommard - 100% Pinot-Noir Pommard is for many the most well-known of the Burgundy appellations. The village is four kilometers from southern Beaune, and the area of the appellation is vast, covering 300 hectares (741 acres), which flank a narrow valley leading toward the back country of the Côte. The parcel En Mareau is found in the middle of the slope to the west of Pommard, and admirably expresses the powerful character of Pommard wines.

Wine Making

Fermentation occurs over two to three weeks in temperature-controlled stainless steel vats, which measure the phenologic components extracted when pumping the skins over, and ensure the least possible pressure on the skins The aging occurs in oak barrels over 12 to 18 months, with the proportion of new oak varying from 30% to 100% depending upon an analysis, tasting, and evaluation of each vintage.
