Pommard 1er Cru Les Charmots 2020
Elegant
As ELEGANT as Audrey Hepburn, these are mid-weight reds made in the traditional dry, earthy style of the French classics like red Burgundy. Most are Pinot Noirs, but all share the lean, tart and dry European-inspired flavor profile that prioritizes food-friendliness.

The Terroirs de Bourgogne range is a selection of reputed single vineyards: Villages, Premier and Grand Crus from Côte de Nuits and Côte de Beaune principally. They are produced in very limited quantities, as a sign of the special care we put into their production. Pommard is one of the most famous villages in the Côte de Beaune, located 5 km south of Beaune on the Route des Grands Crus. The vineyard extends over 322 hectares and produces only red wines, with a proportion of 36% rated 1er Cru. The area of “Les Charmots” is located mid-slope just north of the village with a heavenly south-east exposure. Here the soil is rich in clay which gives their strength to the wines and tinted with red for its richness in iron. The name "Les Charmots" can come from hornbeam trees that might have grown there once or from the fact that it was an uncultivated land before people started growing vines (from the Latin word CALMIS/CALMA which means stony land).
Elegant cherry red, deep and dark. An intense bouquet showing aromas of blackcurrant, blueberry and raspberry enhanced by vanilla and toasted bread notes. A powerful and well-structured wine with intense fruit, well-integrated tannins and a nice length.
