The vivacity and aromatic brilliance 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 close member to Napoleon Bonaparte built a second château in 1802. Today, the property combines this rich heritage with excellent viticulture, in service of the 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 "Cuvée Simone" 2019 is a Pommard wine made from vines about 30 years old, resting on clay soils.
Vinification and aging
The grapes from organic farming are hand-picked, carefully sorted on a vibrating table, then 100% 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%).
