Pommard
Also known as: AOC Pommard
The most powerful village of the Côte de Beaune, famous for structured Pinot Noir, firm tannins and exceptional ageing potential.
Pommard is the strength of the Côte de Beaune. With iron-rich clay soils, it produces Pinot Noir that is more powerful than that of its neighbours Volnay and Monthélie. With no Grand Cru, its Premier Crus offer structure and ageing potential of a high order.
