A distinctly cool nose presents a pretty combination of red cherry, black raspberry and lavender scents that are liberally laced with earth hints. There is excellent intensity and minerality to the focused, powerful and tautly muscular flavors that possess a sleek mouth feel, all wrapped in an austere and ever-so-mildly dry finish though the dryness may eventually age out.

A long popular appellation, Pommard is yet another exclusive red wine area which produces by far the most structured reds of the Côte de Beaune. It extracts rich body and long ageing potential from the limestone/iron-rich clay soil. Some examples can be markedly rustic, yet as time has passed and winemaking know-how has improved, Pommard's wines are becoming softer and more approachable when young. Its vines cover 317 hectares of which over a third are premier cru vineyards. Several have pronounced following and even one, Les Rugiens, is being pushed to become a grand cru.
