Domaine Coste Caumartin Pommard Le Clos Des Boucherottes 750ML 2017

Pommard wine is produced in the commune of Pommard in C?te de Beaune of Burgundy. The Appellation d'origine contr?l?e (AOC) Pommard is only used for red wine with Pinot noir as the main grape variety. There are no Grand Cru vineyards within Pommard, but several highly regarded Premier Cru vineyards. The AOC was created in 1937.

In 2008, there were 321.69 hectares (794.9 acres) of vineyard surface in production for Pommard wine at village and Premier Cru level, and 12,892 hectoliter of wine was produced, corresponding to just over 1.7 million bottles.

The AOC regulations also allow up to 15 per cent total of Chardonnay, Pinot blanc and Pinot gris as accessory grapes in the red wines, but this is not very often practiced. The allowed base yield is 40 hectoliter per hectare. The grapes must reach a maturity of at least 10.5 per cent potential alcohol for village-level wine and 11.0 per cent for Premier Cru wine.

Pommard wines are typically among the most powerful and tannic of the C?te de Beaune wines, providing a clear contrast to the light and elegant Volnay wines from the neighboring village.

Domaine Coste Caumartin Description

The microclimate generated by the Clos confers a particular personality to this Pommard 1st Cru. In the beginning, it is round, long and silky and develops a pretty mellow. Its power expresses itself in the finale that brings a high amplitude and a remarkable length. Vintage after vintage, its personality expresses itself through the vineyard`s typicity. Its exceptional persistence of flavour, enriched by a palette of aromas, makes it a great sensual wine.
