Pommard «En Chiveau»

Vintage 2018

A powerful but delicate Pommard, with notes of blackberry and spices.

Grape variety
Pinot noir
The vines
This old vine, planted 1965, produces low yields; it is located a hundred metres from our “Trois Follots” cuvée.
Vinification and maturation
Vinified in thermoregulated stainless steel tanks; fermentation and temperature are carefully controlled for optimal preservation of the fruit and structure. Gentle vinification with some punching down, but more emphasis on pumping over. Once the fermentation is complete, the grapes are gently pressed using a pneumatic press. The wines are then placed in barrels to begin maturation. Matured for 12 months; 30% in new barrels. For this wine with its beautiful structure, the barrels bring out depth and complexity.
Food and pairing
We can accompany this Pommard with game, such as hare stew, but it also works perfectly with our beef bourguignon and Époisse cheese.
