Arnaud Baillot Pommard 2021

LOCATION

The village of Pommard is situated between Volnay to the South and Beaune to the North. Pommard is on a slope, between 240 and 380 meters, facing east or south-east. Pommard can only be red. There is no grand cru wines.

The quite clayey calcareous soil gives Pommard some quite original qualities : a lot of colour, deep red black, intense and pungent bouquet of blackcurrants, musk and game meat.

TASTING NOTES by Arnaud Baillot
“An intense, bright, red colour; a powerful nose, with notes of black cherry and spice, evolving towards aromas of young leather. On the palate, the tannins give a certain impression of firmness, somewhat softened by a nice, harmonious texture. Persistent flavors in the aftertaste”.
