POMMARD
Old Vines
A deep ruby-purple color with a hint of mauve. On the nose, aromas of blackberry, blueberry, redcurrant, cherry pit and ripe plum. A wild, feline evolution is not uncommon with age. Maturity leads to leather, chocolate and pepper. A round texture, a delicate, assertive structure, fruity on the palate.

Food and wine pairing: This illustrious representative of the Côte de Beaune is a delight with wild meats, as its tannins are massive and dense. Pommard is an indispensable partner for braised or roasted game, both furred and feathered. Steaks, lamb or poultry will also appreciate its firm tannins and concentrated aromas. Pommard naturally enjoys the company of cheeses with strong flavors: Epoisse, Langres, Soumaintrain and even Comté.
