Domaine du Pavillon Clos Des Ursulines, Pommard AOC
Ratings:
Color:
Powerful ruby colour
Taste:
Full and round on the palate with ripe tannins and rich, but not havy, substance. This wine is powerful and well-structured yet remains subtle, elegant and almost "feminine" due to the vineyards proximity to Volnay. The finish is silky and velvety
Aroma:
This Pommard reveals a fruity nose redolent jf cherry, blackcurrant and fig. Over the years these aromas will evolve toward notes of coffee and leather.
Gastronomy:
Serve with exquisitely prepared red meats, feathered game and wine sauces
Interesting Facts
The “Clos des Ursulines”, a peaceful haven dotted with centuries-old pine trees, is located at the heart of Pommard. It is undoubtedly this tranquillity that once enchanted the nuns from the Ursuline convent who were the first owners of the estate. This almost 4-hectare (9.8 acre) “monopole” is located at the southern end of the Pommard appellation toward Volnay. Thanks to its unique terroir, this wine challenges the widely spread myth that Pommard wines are more “masculine”.
