THE VINEYARDS
Today, Château de Pommard is the largest private vineyard in Bourgogne. Its 20 hectares of wines in a single plot belonging to the same owner are enclosed by a two-metre high wall. That very fact makes it unique. Its terroir draws its strength from a clay and limestone soil that was formed in the Upper Jurassic age and the microclimate that prevails in the vineyard. Each plot has its own identity, which is why Emmanuel Sala, the master winemaker, makes the wine from them separately. The quintessence of Pommard is expressed by the old vines, which bring out the best of pinot noir.
THE CELLARS
Here, the spirit of Château de Pommard has been breathing for three centuries. 400,000 bottles and hundreds of oak casks stand in a line at a constant temperature of 12°C. There, at the heart of the captivating arched cellars, the treasure of the Château can be seen.
 
A PRESTIGIOUS WINE
Depuis Since the late 17th century, Château de Pommard wines have been gracing the best tables of the world. Specialist oenologists, prestigious restaurateurs and informed lovers of the wine share the passion for an exceptional wine that was listed "Première Cuvèe" by Jean Lasalle in 1855.
Ruby of the Côte d'Or, fruit of complex soils and climates concentrated in its plot, the terroir of Château de Pommard knows how to honour Bourgogne and its grape variety, pinot noir.
Aged in oak casks for 15 to 18 months before it is bottled, Château de Pommard wine may be served from its fourth year, but it may also be kept in a cellar for over 30 years. This finest nectar has been linking wine and the divine for three centuries.
