Chateau de Pommard Volnay Premiere Cru 2015

TASTING

An elegant blend of two Premier Cru parcels, “Les Mitans” and “Les Brouillards,” produce this finely balanced and delicate Pinot Noir. It is the perfume of ripe red fruits and aromatic herbs that really holds your attention at first, echoed on the palate too. The texture is dense and, perhaps, more rustic than the 2014, with tannins which will soften and express more complexity and balance with time.

Serving Temperature: 16°C

SOILS

Overlooking Pommard, Volnay spreads its vines on the steep slopes of the Hill of Chaignot. Our Premier Cru comes from a complex alliance of soils, including limestone, calcareous scree and clay. The grapes benefit from a southeasterly exposure.

WINEMAKING

Hand-harvested grapes, hand-sorted on a vibrating table. 100% de-stemmed, placed into stainless steel fermentation vats by gravity flow. Weeks-long maceration, minimal pumping-over and punching-down down. Pressing in pneumatic press. Placed in French oak.
