The structure and balance of a great Pommard wine

The property
The Château de Pommard embodies over a thousand years of wine history in the heart of Burgundy. Founded as early as 909 by Benedictine monks, it is one of the oldest estates in the region. Its evolution spans centuries, notably marked by the Micault family, who built the first château in the 18th century, and then by the Marey-Monge, an influential lineage whose member close to Napoleon Bonaparte will build a second château in 1802. Today, the property combines this rich heritage with excellent viticulture, in the service of pinot noir, the emblematic grape variety of the appellation.

The vineyard
The vineyard of Château de Pommard extends over twenty hectares in one piece, in the heart of the famous Clos Marey-Monge whose exceptional geological diversity - seven distinct terroirs - allows a complex reading of pinot noir. Cultivated biodynamically for several years, this vineyard benefits from meticulous work aimed at preserving biodiversity and accurately revealing the typicity of each plot.

The wine
This "Clos Marey-Monge Monopole" 2019 is a Pommard wine made from vines aged 20 to 80 years old on soils composed of alluvium, sands and gravels

Vinification and aging

The grapes from organic farming are hand-picked, carefully sorted on a vibrating table, then partially destemmed. The vatting is done by gravity in stainless steel tanks, before a prolonged maceration of several weeks, conducted with gentle extraction (few pump-overs and punch-downs). The pressing is done pneumatically, followed by an aging of 18 months on fine lees in French oak barrels (20% new).

Grape variety
Pinot noir (100%).
