Pommard


See Pommard producers See a list of Pommard wines

The most powerful red wines of the Côte de Beaune comes from Pommard, where complex soils with a high proportion of iron-rich clay produce deep coloured, relatively tannic wines. A Pommard that is ready to drink in its first few years is probably not going to be a great example of the appellation.

Two vineyards stand out: the lower part of Les Rugiens, which has been mooted for promotion to grand cru, and the 5 hectare walled Clos des Epéneaux, monopoly of Comte Armand.

  • 212 hectares of village Pommard.
  • 125 hectares of premier cru vineyards (28 in all). Best vineyards include Les Rugiens, Les Epénots (including Clos des Epéneaux) and Pézérolles .
  • Recommended Producers: Comte Armand, de Montille, de Courcel, J-M Boillot .
