Pommard Premier Cru Les Chaponnières Rouge 2019

Pommard "Les Chaponnières" 1er crus - 2019

  • Philosophy Since 2019, these old vines of Pommard premier cru Les Chaponnières have been the first to be entirely cultivated by our house, which gives us better control over the technical process, better control of the quality of the grapes, and a closer link with nature and the land.
  • Terroir Located at the southern exit of this legendary village, at the foot of the hill, immediately below the famous "Rugiens", Les Chaponnières is one of the most beautiful "premier cru" terroirs of Pommard. The clay soils are deep, a depth that is found in the wines. Our vine, around 80 years old, made up of old, well-rooted gnarled vines, seems to have found a perfect balance, insensitive to the passing years. Its grapes produce a wine that expresses the depth and complexity of its terroir. 
  • Vinification and ageing After a manual harvest at full maturity, the grapes are carefully sorted in order to integrate 30% of whole harvests into the cuvée. The maceration lasted 21 days, followed by 17 months of aging in barrels (including 30% new barrels).
  • Tasting notesThe eye is first attracted by the deep color and its almost syrupy consistency which gives an impression of thickness. First nose of coffee, kirsch, chocolate and ripe cherry. We are immediately struck by an incredible complexity. Sichuan pepper, dark chocolate, dried herbs, spices... A wine of impressive aromatic density. The attack on the palate is superb: ample, rich and complex, surprisingly combining freshness and density. The tannins show perfect maturity. We have notes of marinade and juniper. Perfect balance between sweetness and acidity: a very great wine produced in a great year..
