About this product
Pommard's definitive wine — the Clos des Épeneaux monopole (5.3 hectares) produces Pinot Noir of unusual density and structural complexity. Clay-limestone soils give greater colour and tannin than typical Côte de Beaune: dark cherry, plum, iron, earthy forest floor, and a firm tannic backbone. Indigenous yeast, old French barriques. Needs 10 years minimum; magnificent for 25–30 years.
Pairing intelligence
complement
The supreme Pommard pairing — Bresse pigeon's gamey richness is matched by Clos des Épeneaux's earthy depth; the Pommard sauce creates a wine-in-food echo; celeriac mousseline grounds the richness.

complement
Pommard's earthy density and firm tannin is ideal for braised oxtail's collagen-rich richness; the Burgundy wine in the braising liquid creates a seamless connection between dish and glass.

complement
Pommard's earthy, structured depth matches the pungent washed-rind Munster; caraway seeds add a spicy bridge that resonates with the wine's own rustic mineral character.
