The property
The Château de Pommard embodies over a thousand years of viticultural history in the heart of Burgundy. Founded as early as 909 by Benedictine monks, it is one of the oldest estates in the region. Its evolution spans centuries, notably marked by the Micault family, who built the first château in the 18th century, and then by the Marey-Monge, an influential lineage whose member close to Napoleon Bonaparte built a second château in 1802. Today, the property combines this rich heritage with excellent viticulture, in service of the pinot noir, the emblematic grape of the appellation.

The vineyard
The vineyard of Château de Pommard extends over twenty hectares in one piece, in the heart of the famous Clos Marey-Monge whose exceptional geological diversity - seven distinct terroirs - allows a complex reading of pinot noir. Cultivated biodynamically for several years, this vineyard benefits from meticulous work aimed at preserving biodiversity and accurately revealing the typicity of each plot.

The wine
This "Clos Marey-Monge Grands Esprits" is a Pommard wine made from vines aged 40 to 50 years old, resting on pebbly and limestone-rich soils.

Vinification and aging

Made from organic grapes harvested and sorted by hand, this wine benefits from gentle vinification in stainless steel tanks with 20% whole harvest, followed by aging for 18 months on fine lees in French oak barrels.
