On the palate, Joseph Drouhin's Pommard starts out wonderfully aromatic, fruit-driven and balanced. Some wines are dry on the label, others really are. This red wine belongs to the latter group, as it was bottled with only 1.8 grams of residual sugar. Balanced and complex, this dense red wine presents itself on the palate. The fruit acidity of the Pommard is strikingly rounded, making this wine wonderfully smooth. The finish of this youthful red wine from the wine-growing region of Burgundy, more precisely from Côte de Beaune and Haute Côtes de Beaune, finally impresses with considerable reverberation. The finish is also accompanied by mineral hints of the soils dominated by gravel and clay.

This French wine can be described as an Old World wine in the best sense of the word, with an exceptionally impressive presentation. After the hand harvest, the grapes are quickly taken to the press house. Here they are selected and carefully crushed. This is followed by fermentation in small wood at controlled temperatures. At the end of fermentation, the elegant Pommard is aged for 16 months in oak barrels.
