Chateau de Pommard Clos Marey-Monge Monopole 2019

TASTING NOTES

With its brilliant, bright ruby color and purple undertones, our Clos Marey-Monge Monopole 2019 is a complex, generous and aromatic wine. The flattering nose reveals delicate powdery aromas along with notes of dried flowers, roses and red fruit, highlighted by peppery notes. The palate is fresh, round and generous, while the tannins are silky with a light sweetness. The very full and complex finish gives this wine power and grace. A great Pommard for aging, but one which can also be appreciated today.

Serving Temperature: 16°C

SOILS

The largest monopole in Burgundy, Clos Marey-Monge benefits from a unique environment protected by a two-meter-high stone wall. Positioned at the base of the hill of Pommard, the complexity of our vineyard’s soils comes from the alluvia, sand and gravel carried by the Avant-Dheune river a thousand years ago. Our blend of the seven cuvées from the limestone and clay-rich soils of the Clos creates a deep, elegant, and sophisticated Pinot Noir.
