Pommard

Pommard is a French appellation located in Burgundy (Côte de Beaune). The wines produced in the region are exclusively made from Pinot Noir, and they are often described as powerful, tannic, complex, and rich. There are no Grand Cru vineyards within Pommard but several highly regarded Premier Cru vineyards. The AOC was created in 1937. They are typically deep red with purple highlights, while the characteristic aromas include dark and red berries, such as blackberry, blueberry, cherry core, and ripe plums.

In 2008, there were 321.69 hectares of the vineyard surface production for Pommard wine at the village and Premier Cru level. The vineyard produced 12,892 hectares, corresponding to just over 1.7 million bottles. Pommard wines are typically among the most powerful and tannic of the Côte de Beaune wines, providing a clear contrast to the light and elegant Volnay wines from the neighboring village.

With age, they tend to display leather, spices, or chocolate nuances. These somewhat robust wines are ideal for beef, casseroles, and cheese. They are best enjoyed after at least five years of aging.
