Côte de Beaune
Chateau de Pommard Chassagne-Montrachet 2014
Complex and generous, Chassagne-Montrachet has a clear lemon color. The nose and palate present with intense aromas and flavors of acacia, yellow peaches and ripe pineapple, lined with notes of vanilla, almonds and hazelnuts. The finish is long and leaves a sense of generosity. It is a white wine approachable now, but definitely ageworthy.
Chateau de Pommard Clos Marey-Monge Nicolas Joseph 2018
Nicolas-Joseph’s 3 hectares are comprised of flat limestone rocks with red clay — yielding a fleshy, complex Pinot Noir with red fruits and sweet, silky tannins. Divided into two parts, Jeunes and Vieilles, this plot located alongside the north-eastern facade of the Château Marey-Monge displays the least calcareous soil structure in the Clos.
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. Pressing in pneumatic press. Placed in French oak barrels for aging on fine lees. Light filtration
Tasting Notes: With a deep ruby color, our Nicolas-Joseph 2018 reveals a nose marked by floral aromas of fresh and faded roses, accompanied by ripe black fruit and sweet spices. The palate confirms the aromatic profile and unveils notes of cinnamon and clove. With its relaxed tannins, this round and full-bodied Pommard can be enjoyed today, but will only reach its peak in the next decade.

Chateau de Pommard Santenay Premier Cru “La Maladière” 2017

Behind its pale lemon color, this Santenay Premier Cru “La Maladière” hides medium intensity aromas of lemon, apple, and pear, as well as notes of honeysuckle. With refreshing acidity, the palate reveals flavors of white fruits, lime and subtle hints of vanilla. Chiseled and lively, it is a Chardonnay enjoyable now.
Serving Temperature: 12°C
SOILS
Located above the village of Santenay, our Premier Cru “La Maladière” combines a marly-clay and limestone-rich soil that produces a mineral and lively Chardonnay.

Renowned for its intense red wines across the world, Santenay also produces a handful of chiseled white wines like our “La Maladière”.

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.
Production: 1,500 bottles
Chateau de Pommard Clos Marey-Monge Emilie 2022
TASTING
Behind its intense ruby color, our Émilie 2022 is a fresh and generous wine. The nose unveils bright red fruit aromas and floral notes. The palate is clean and marked by rounded tannins as well as fruity and spicy notes.
Serving Temperature: 16°C
SOILS
In 2017, new vines were planted at the furthest eastern point of our Clos Marey-Monge on clay-limestone soils with a sandy texture. Gravel and pebbles are also found in this area of the vineyard, but become increasingly rare with depth. This is where our Émilie cuvée begins her journey.
