Pommard

Domaine Faiveley is one of the largest and most illustrious domaines in Burgundy, and has made its name with red wines made from the Pinot Noir grape. It was founded in 1825 in the village of Nuits-Saint-Georges under Joseph Faiveley, a wine merchant who had a desire for travel. In the beginning of the 19th Century, trade had begun between Burgundy and northern Europe, predominantly along the rivers and canals connecting the regions.

Pommard is a village in the Cote de Beaune sub-region of Burgundy famous for producing powerful and richly flavored red wines. They are made from Pinot Noir grapes, with which the commune's vineyards are almost exclusively planted. The Pommard appellation covers only red wines.

This wine has a beautiful dark ruby color. The nose is rich with black fruit and spice aromas, backed up by woody and smoky notes. On the palate it is powerful, with well blended tannins and again nice woody notes from being raised in oak. The beautiful structure and big rich aromas of this Pommard are the proof of good cellaring potential.
