Pommard
From tears of rain to tears of wine, a year as trying as it is moving! 2024 will be remembered… Marked by record rainfall and omnipresent humidity, it put winegrowers to the test. Despite vigilance and hard work in the vines, mildew took over, strongly impacting yields. Significant disparities appeared between terroirs: more draining soils were better able to resist disease pressure. Fortunately, after harvest, the quality of the wines came as a nice surprise. Freshness and radiance are there, offering a precious reward after a season of challenges.

Tasting
Tasting note
This wine opens with a slightly reductive character, which quickly fades to give way to a beautiful aromatic intensity. On the palate, it presents a beautiful concentration, revealing rich flavors of ripe fruit which line the palate. Its generous volume offers a full and enveloping sensation, with a well-defined structure. Complex and elegant, showing a nose of dry fruits and black cherry, enhanced with a touch of cooking juice. The fruit is even more precise on the palate, balanced between character, depth and savoriness.
Food pairings
Ideal with beef steak or hare stew.
