This is a textbook Pommard from a true artisan. A classic expression of Pinot Noir from fruit grown on the Combe of Pommard, where mid-high altitude, steep chalky-rock slopes and sunny southern exposure give the wine both power and clarity. The mature vines (around 50 years old) are farmed with careful attention, letting the soil and microclimate do the talking in the glass.
This Pommard is made exclusively from “vin de goutte” (free-run juice), meaning it’s vinified gently to preserve purity and finesse. That approach delivers silky, fine-grained tannins that carry the natural strength and structure of Pommard without harshness — a hallmark of the terroir’s limestone and stone-studded soils. Your description of this wine’s strength and silk mirrors what critics note for Rossignol’s Pommard bottlings: ripe red cherry, raspberry, and blackberry fruit mixed with hints of forest floor, spice, and earth that speak to its Burgundian roots.
On the palate, it’s medium-to-full-bodied with lively acidity and firm but polished tannins, striking a lovely balance between ripe fruit and savory complexity — a reflection of both site and vintage. The result is a wine that’s expressive now but built for time in the cellar.
Pair with roast lamb, braised beef, duck with herbs, or rich mushroom dishes — hearty fare that matches the wine’s structure and savory depth.
