The beginning of the 2020 Burgundy harvest marked the earliest start to picking in the last 25 years, and the warmer-than-average temperatures with a lack of precipitation reduced the yield of many crops. Thankfully, the grapes that thrived produced wines with unbelievable freshness, texture, concentration, and vibrant acidity.

Pommard is an acclaimed commune in the Côte de Beaune of Burgundy perched between the iconic villages of Beaune and Volnay. Though close in proximity, wines from these regions cannot be more different. Best known for its clay-limestone and iron-rich soils, wines from Pommard typically all have a powerful structure and deep, dark color with reddish-mauve highlights. As they mature, these wines become firmer, more concentrated, and structured with leather and chocolate notes. Aged in 38% new French oak, this Pinot Noir is true to form with profound color, firm tannins, and captivatingly textured acidity.
