Domaine Vincent Sauvestre, Pinot Noir
Burgundy
2009
A wonderful Pinot Noir made from vines just outside the village of Pommard, one of the very best red Burgundy appellations. As with Bordeaux 2009 was a cracking vintage in Burgundy and at lower end of the price range there is some fantastic value to find. This wine’s a far cry from the usual thin Pinot Noirs one normally finds for under £11. This is full bodied, rich and will be drinking very well for the next 4-5 years. Stunning value!
Our tasting notes
Bright ruby with a rich, berry fruitynose. Strong cherry flavours with a slight hint of pepper. This is a fresh, fruity wine with good concentration and a long finish.Wine data

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.
