Wine Details
Pommard’s Floral Rebellion.
Don’t come here expecting burly tannins and bluster. This is a Pommard Premier Cru with perfume, poise, and a whole lot of style. Raspberry, cherry, rose and black pepper all swirl in the glass, with a hint of liquorice and a salty snap on the finish. It’s light on its feet, but far from flimsy — there’s precision and persistence, with fine tannins that shape the wine without stealing the show. It’s a quieter Pommard. But an absolute cracker.
📍 The Plot
‘Les Pézerolles’ lies on the eastern side of Pommard, near a geological fault line, with clay-limestone soils and great drainage. The name comes from “Poizerolles” — old French for “chickpeas,” which were once grown here in the Middle Ages. At around 300m altitude, this site delivers lift, elegance, and a different angle on Pommard’s power.
🍇 Technical
50–80% whole bunch fermentation, followed by ageing in 50% ceramic and 50% oak barrels (max 20% new). Maturation lasts 15–18 months, allowing the wine to develop purity and spice without overt oak influence.
