Jean Vaudoisey - Pommard 2022

"Vaumuriens, Chanlins and Riottes. Plenty of colour for this blend of 3 plots. A small reduction has almost faded – the nose discreet but involving, indeed evolving, with some dark fruit. Some generosity here – large in the middle flavours and shrinking towards the finish but then holding long – not just long – also strong – that’s a great finish!"-Bill Nanson, Burgundy Report

Jean Vaudoisey Description

Pommard wine is produced in the commune of Pommard in Côte de Beaune of Burgundy. The Appellation d'origine contrôlée (AOC) Pommard is only used for red wine with Pinot noir as the main grape variety. There are no Grand Cru vineyards within Pommard, but several highly regarded Premier Cru vineyards. The AOC was created in 1937.

In 2008, there were 321.69 hectares (794.9 acres) of vineyard surface in production for Pommard wine at village and Premier Cru level, and 12,892 hectoliter of wine was produced, corresponding to just over 1.7 million bottles.

The AOC regulations also allow up to 15 per cent total of Chardonnay, Pinot blanc and Pinot gris as accessory grapes in the red wines, but this is not very often practiced. The allowed base yield is 40 hectoliter per hectare. The grapes must reach a maturity of at least 10.5 per cent potential alcohol for village-level wine and 11.0 per cent for Premier Cru wine.

Pommard wines are typically among the most powerful and tannic of the Côte de Beaune wines, providing a clear contrast to the light and elegant Volnay wines from the neighboring village.

Vinous: 89-91 Points

The palate is promising with supple tannins, bright redcurrant and raspberry fruit and a judicious dab of white pepper towards the finish, erring a little towards Volnay in style. Give it a couple of years in bottle.”Neal Martin
