Description
Some of the darkest, deepest and sturdiest Pinot noir of Burgundy, Pommard is one of the two villages in Côte de Beaune—along with Volnay—that is recognized for its impressive Pinot Noir.
The best Pommards will be concentrated in flavors such as black cherry, blackberry and dark chocolate, have dazzling aromas of violets, menthol or wild herbs and a firm and powerful finish. They typically demand some time in the bottle to reach their peak.
Tasting notes
This dense wine full of young tannins and rich fruit comes from a small parcel wholly owned by Château de Santenay. Its structure is richly integrated into the fruit and acidity, with delicious red-cherry flavors and good acidity at the end.-Wine Enthusiast
History
Château de Santenay is one of Burgundy’s largest wine domaines. Its prestigious heritage, which comprises a remarkable Château with a glazed tile roof and 90 hectares of vineyards, is the product of a time-old legacy that is closely tied to the history of the Burgundy wine region. This remarkable château, with its varnished tiles, is a spectacular piece of heritage closely tied to the region’s history. Its vineyards are split between the Côte d’Or and Côte Chalonnaise. The diversity of its ‘climats’ results in a rich palette of wines with distinctive styles that reflect the subtleties of the Burgundy varietals.
Vineyard
Deep, draining clay-limestone. The estate is resolutely committed to an environmentally friendly path through a code of good practice. The estate has been Terra Vitis certified since 2004 and HVE3 (High Environmental Values ??level 3).
Working the soil by plowing, permanent grassing and the removal of herbicides ensure an active biological life of the soil. Leaf stripping and green harvesting allow yields to be controlled and the plant to be in good health through aeration of the grapes.
Vinification
The Village of the Côte de Beaune, of exclusively red wines, has enjoyed enormous notoriety for centuries. Long-aging wines, colorful, firm and vigorous, with age they pour out generosity and finesse accompanied by frank fruity and spicy flavors.
