Pommard is known for the most powerful red wines in all of the Côte de Beaune, and vines around 55 years old give this edition a rare concentration.
Expert's Description
Aurore Bachelet Pommard 2022 is a Red Wine from Burgundy, France made from 100% Pinot Noir, bottled at 13% ABV.
The grapes come from vines around 55 years old, grown in clay and limestone soil. After manual harvest, the grapes undergo a cold pre-fermentation in vat, and fermentation takes place in tanks with regular manual punch-downs and pump-overs. The wine is aged for 12 months in oak casks and then 5 months in steel tanks.
Tasting Notes

Deep and complex, with ripe dark berries and a hint of spice from the oak ageing.

Finish
Long, with pronounced minerality.
Serving & Food Pairing
Serve at 16-18°C, ideally decanted for 30 minutes before serving, in a Burgundy glass. Pairs with beef tenderloin, game and aged cheeses.
