Pommard Vineyards situationThe village of Pommard is situated between Volnay to the South and Beaune tothe North.

CharacteristicsPommard is on a slope, between 240 and 380 metres, facing east or south-east.Pommard can only be red. There is no grand cru wines.The quite clayey calcareous soil gives Pommard some quite original qualities : alot of colour, deep red black, intense and pungent bouquet of blackcurrants,musk and game meat.

Wine makingThe fermentation takes place in tanks during 3-4 weeks, after which they areaged in barrel for 12-15 months before being bottled.

Winemaker's comments / GastronomyLouis Jadot Pommard is a firm, fill bodied wine that is neverthelessexceptionally round and generous, with a soft, fruity depth of character and abouquet suggestive of raspberries.

The cuisine capable of honouring Pommard wine has to be quite spicy with astrong flavour : hare, pheasant, entrecôte steak in wine, or cheeses like Epoisses,Livarot, Pont l'Evêque. ...

PreservationThe best time for drinking it is after 5 years up to 10-15 years if kept in goodconditions. (temperature, humidity).
