2022 Arnaud Baillot Pommard VV, Cote de Beaune

A bold and expressive Pinot Noir that embodies the power and elegance of this renowned Burgundy appellation. Crafted with meticulous care from old vines, this wine offers depth, structure, and a true sense of terroir.

On the nose, rich aromas of black cherries, ripe raspberries, and dark plums are layered with notes of dried herbs, forest floor, and a subtle touch of spice. Hints of violet and fine oak add further complexity and allure.

The palate is full-bodied and well-structured, with firm yet silky tannins and a lively acidity that provides balance and freshness. Flavors of blackcurrant, red berries, and earthy undertones are complemented by nuances of clove, tobacco, and a touch of minerality. The finish is long and refined, promising excellent aging potential.

Sourced from select old vine parcels in Pommard, the wine benefits from the region’s limestone-rich soils and ideal growing conditions, which contribute to its intensity and complexity. Traditional winemaking techniques, including fermentation with indigenous yeasts and aging in French oak barrels, ensure the wine’s authenticity and refinement.

This Pommard pairs beautifully with roasted duck, beef bourguignon, or truffle-infused dishes. It also complements aged cheeses and charcuterie, making it a versatile choice for fine dining. Enjoy it now for its bold fruit character or cellar it for 10–15 years to experience its full evolution.
