Pommard Wines – Powerful Reds and Premier Crus

Pommard: the emblematic power of the reds of the Côte de Beaune

Pommard is undoubtedly one of the most famous villages of the Côte de Beaune, renowned since the ^19th century for its powerful and structured red wines. Exclusively dedicated to Pinot Noir, the appellation produces wines of character, capable of aging gracefully for decades. Recognized as an AOC since 1937, Pommard delights Burgundy enthusiasts seeking wines with aging potential and prestigious vineyard sites.

A robust terroir, ideal for great red wines

The Pommard vineyards cover just over 300 hectares, between Beaune and Volnay. They lie on clay-limestone soils rich in iron, which give the wines their tannic structure and deep color. The southeast exposure and the region's temperate climate allow the Pinot Noir to ripen fully while retaining its natural acidity, ensuring balance and longevity.

The commune boasts 28 Premier Cru vineyards, including the renowned Rugiens (Bas and Haut) and Épenots (Petits and Grands), which are among the most prestigious in the entire Côte de Beaune. These terroirs are capable of rivaling some of the region's Grands Crus in terms of finesse, depth, and aging potential.

A masculine and refined style, with varied harmonies.

Pommard wines boast an intense color with deep ruby highlights. The nose is often marked by aromas of black fruit (blackcurrant, blackberry), spices, leather, truffle, or undergrowth, depending on the age. On the palate, these wines display a beautiful density, firm yet elegant tannins, and a long, persistent finish. When young, they impress with their vigor; with time, they gain in complexity and suppleness.

They pair wonderfully with grilled or braised red meats, roast beef, duck breast, game, or aged cheeses like Époisses or Laguiole. These are gastronomic wines par excellence, to be opened for exceptional meals.
