Pommard

1er Cru Epenots

In the past, this place was overrun with the thorns and the thorny bushes ("espineauls"), afterwards it was cultivated by the monks from Citeaux around 1150.

Vineyard

The terroir, big enough for the village of Pommard, was set up by the monks from Cîteaux. Next to Beaune, it grows on clayey and limestone soils with a low slope. In this context, the ripe grapes expresse power, with a rustic touch when it is young. It's a worth keeping terroir.The grapes are purchased in the part of Les Grands Epenots.
