Maison Champy Pommard 2011 750mL

Grape Varietal:

100% Pinot Noir

Tasting Notes:

The color is dark ruby and deep purple. The nose is marked by intense and gourmet notes of blackcurrant, with a nice grilled aroma and a mineral, sulfurous reduction, giving this wine a very fine, airy character. The palate is tight, showing a fruit with a good crunch, and has a good energy while showing freshness, richness, and a gourmet aspect all at the same time. With a lot of depth, the aromatics expand over notes of black fruits (blackcurrant), ripe fruits and black cherries. This beautiful wine reflects the terroir of Pommard, and can express its gourmet flavors as soon as today when first passed through a carafe. It will show all of its complexity after being kept for 10 years. 

Food Pairings:

It will go well with red meats such as beef, steak au poivre with a leg of lamb or duck confit with spices, game stew… and with pronounced flavors of cheeses such as: Epoisses, Soumaintrain, Livarot, Delice de Pommard…
