BURGUNDY SERIES

2021 Pommard Pinot Noir

The 2021 Burgundy vintage experienced a difficult yet classic growing season with unpredictable weather—including spring frost and hailstorms which resulted in reduced yields. Yet, with meticulous vineyard management and selective harvesting, the wines produced are characteristically expressive and capture Burgundy’s exceptionally unique terroir. 

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 diverse. 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. 

The 2021 Pommard Pinot Noir was aged in 41% new French oak and offers immense depth and concentration. Ripe black cherry and dried cranberry aromas entice the senses as hints of herbs de Provence and black truffle impart dimension. The palate is enlivening, with firm, polished tannins adding nuance to a remarkably long, pristine finish.

Fact of Note: Pommard, a commune named after the ancient goddess Pomona, who symbolizes the divinity of the garden, is known for its exclusive production of Pinot Noir.
