{"product_id":"chateau-de-pommard-rouge-2023","title":"Chateau de Pommard Pommard 2023","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Land\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePommard is the Cote de Beaune's most muscular red, the appellation you reach for when neighboring Volnay and Beaune feel too delicate. This wine comes from Clos Marey-Monge, Burgundy's largest privately owned monopole, a nearly 20-hectare vineyard enclosed by ancient stone walls at the heart of Pommard. Its soils are unusual for the Cote d'Or: a rare mix of limestone, clay, sand, and gravel laid down over millennia by the Avant-Dheune river, which shifts across the site and gives the wine both power and lift. It is a single walled vineyard with the geological variety of an entire hillside.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Wine\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e100% Pinot Noir from vines ranging 6 to 80 years old inside the Clos, hand-harvested and sorted on a vibrating table, fully destemmed, and moved into stainless steel by gravity. Fermentation runs on native yeast with minimal intervention, followed by 18 months of aging in French oak, only 10% new, and stainless steel, then bottled unfiltered. 2023 brought a warm September and a generous but well-balanced crop, picked between the 5th and 11th, that required careful temperature control to hold freshness. The result is a deep ruby with purple highlights, red fruit and rose petal on the nose, and a full, rounded palate with velvety tannins and a long, gently spiced finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe People\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChateau de Pommard was founded in 1726 and is now owned by the Carabello-Baum family, who began converting Clos Marey-Monge to biodynamics in 2017. The vineyard is farmed organically and biodynamically under winemaker Emmanuel Sala and biodynamic specialist Antoine Lepetit de la Bigne, with an emphasis on native-yeast, low-sulfur, gravity-fed winemaking that lets the monopole's terroir speak. The estate also runs Ecole V, a wine school, and treats Clos Marey-Monge as a living laboratory for understanding how a single walled site expresses its many soils.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFood Pairing\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePommard is built for red meat and game. Pour it with beef bourguignon, roast duck, a venison stew, or coq au vin. Its structure and velvety tannin stand up to braised and roasted meats, while the red-fruit core and spice keep it lively next to earthy, wintry dishes. A well-aged Epoisses or other washed-rind cheese is a classic Burgundian close. Give it time in the glass; it opens and deepens with air.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Misa Colorado","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50589925802207,"sku":null,"price":65.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0439\/7436\/1248\/files\/P7230744.jpg?v=1785128845","url":"https:\/\/denverwinemerchant.com\/products\/chateau-de-pommard-rouge-2023","provider":"Denver Wine Merchant","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
