Pommard “Galignan” | Côte de Beaune

2009

SHIPPING NOW

Pommard is one of the star appellations in the Beaune, producing more full bodied and tannic Pinot Noir than elsewhere in Burgundy. Single grower examples of this quality and at this price are almost impossible to find. It’s drinking surprisingly well now but will get better and better with a few years in the cellar. Snap it up while you can!

Our tasting notes

Intense dark pinot colour with an intense cherry, red berry nose. A deep, rich and complex wine that could only be a really good Burgundy—the finish goes on and on. It is surprisingly forward and drinkable now—but will last and last. Perfect with all red meats and game—indeed by itself.

About Pommard

Pommard, one of the classic Burgundy appellations is a small village in the Côte de Beaune district of the Côte d’Or. The vines here, which almost exclusively produce Pinot Noir grapes, grow on steep uneven slopes of clay-dominated soil, which climb high into scrub covered hills. The resultant wines tend to be well structured, meaty, and more powerful and tannic than other Pinot Noirs from the neighbouring appellations. This means that whilst Pommards can be drunk young they also have excellent potential for aging.
