Domaine Douhairet Porcheret Pommard Burgundy French Red 750 ml

$74.99

Representing some of the darkest, deepest and sturdiest Pinot Noir of Burgundy, Pommard is one of the two villages in Côte de Beaune—along with Volnay—that is recognized for its impressive Pinot Noir. While it can’t boast any Grands Crus vineyards, its extraordinary Premiers Crus vineyards are aplenty.

The best Pommards will be concentrated in flavors such as black cherry, blackberry and dark chocolate, have dazzling aromas of violets, menthol or wild herbs and a firm and powerful finish. They typically demand some time in the bottle to reach their peak.

Description

  • A 300-year-old estate based in Monthélie, Domaine Douhairet-Porcheret boasts an impressive history.

  • Work in the vineyards is done without the use of herbicides and pesticides.
  • After hand harvesting, the grapes are carefully vinified with varying levels of oak depending on the location and vintage.
  • Now under the watchful eyes of Cataldina and her husband, Vincent, this ancient property is in excellent hands, as the next generation ushers these wines into the 21st century.
