Domaine Vincent Sauvestre | Pinot Noir
Burgundy

2009

A wonderful Pinot Noir made from vines just outside the village of Pommard, one of the very best red Burgundy appellations, and bottled by Domaine Vincent Sauvestre in Mersault. A far cry from the usual thin Pinot Noirs one normally finds for under €13, this is full bodied, rich and will be drinking very well for the next 4-5 years. Stunning value!

Our tasting notes

Bright ruby with a rich, berry fruitynose. Strong cherry flavours with a slight hint of pepper. This is a fresh, fruity wine with good concentration and a long finish.

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.
