Character and style The ruby colour is nice. The nose is very closed in his first young life (2 first years) and it will develop with time. The red and black fruits are accompanied by small fine tannins and slight spices. Especially on this vintage the nuances of the soil and the wild side of a classic Pommard will require a few years. Elegance and potential for the future are the typical ingredients of a beautiful Pommard if you have the chance to find out after 7-8 years of aging.

Ageing and service To keep 10-15 years. Temperature of service: 15-16°C

Pommard will accompany culinary savours rather strong after a few years. Hare pies, of pheasants, Sheep (shoulder), conserve of duck, cooked or stuffed beefs in wine or mushroom sauces, strong cheeses…
