Pommard “Galignan” | Côte de Beaune

2006

Having sold out of the 2005 in just over a week we have bought all of the 2006 vintage of this fantastic Pommard—a similarly small parcel! 2006 was yet another very good vintage in Pommard following on from the wonderful 2005. Single grower Pommards of this quality at this price are almost impossible to find. It’s drinking surprisingly well now but will get better and better with a few years in the cellar. Snap it up while you can!

Our tasting notes

Intense dark pinot colour with an intense cherry, red berry nose. A deep, rich and complex wine that could only be a really good Burgundy—the finish goes on and on. It is surprisingly forward and drinkable now—but will last and last. Perfect with all red meats and game—indeed by itself.

About Pommard

Pommard, one of the classic Burgundy appellations is a small village in the Côte de Beaune district of the Côte d’Or. The vines here, which almost exclusively produce Pinot Noir grapes, grow on steep uneven slopes of clay-dominated soil, which climb high into scrub covered hills. The resultant wines tend to be well structured, meaty, and more powerful and tannic than other Pinot Noirs from the neighbouring appellations. This means that whilst Pommards can be drunk young they also have excellent potential for aging.
