VARIETALPommard and Pommard Premiers Crus are only made from Pinot Noir grapes.
TASTING NOTES- The color is dark ruby red.
- The intense nose exudes aromas of fruit such as blackcurrant and blackberry, with some notes of violets.
- On the palate, this supple and elegant wine is supported by silky tannins and flavours that are fruity (very ripe red and black fruits). Very concentrated, powerful, well balanced, a beautiful wine to age.
FOOD AND WINE PAIRINGDrink with fine roasted or oven-grilled meats, prime rib, rump steak with pepper, marinated game or poultry in sauce, not forgetting creamy Burgundy cheeses but not too strong.
SERVING SUGGESTIONSServe at 16-18°C (60-64°F).
AGEING POTENTIALThis premier cru can be kept in the cellar for 8 to 10 years.
ORIGINThe little village of Pommard is jealously guarded by its vineyards, on the flanks of the slope. The fame of the nectar produced here goes back centuries; indeed, as long ago as the Middle Ages, the wines of Pommard were being shipped to the Popes of Avignon…
Between Beaune and Volnay extends the vast vineyard of Pommard which unfolds on each side of a monumental combe. The plot "Les Arvelets" is located at the exit of this valley on the north slope. Exposed south with a clay-limestone soil rich in iron oxide covered with alluvium and silt, this premier cru is the steepest of the appellation. The Latin roots of the word "arvelet" refer to the presence of old fields, plowing land at this location.
