Tasting notes

Its dense and velvety robe leans towards a red–black colour. The nose expresses aromas of blackberry, blueberry, redcurrant, and cherry pit. It can develop a wild feline character with age.
On the palate, this Pommard combines power and minerality, which gives it an aromatic complexity worthy of the greats.

Food pairing

In perfect harmony with feathered or furred game, braised or roasted. It also accompanies red meats, for example beef steak or duck breast. It goes well with the most powerful cheeses, such as Epoisses.
Serve at 14 to 16°C
