Description
  • Pommard is known the world over for its opulent red wines. Of the 120 hectares of Premiers Crus in Pommard, "Les Arvelets" only constitutes 8 hectares. The name of this parcel speaks for itself: it is land cultivated at the bottom of a small valley. Situated on a slope at about 270m above sea-level, this parcel faces directly south and sits on clay-limestone soils. The rich nature of this soil explains the excellence of this wine.

Wine tasting
  • Tasting Note
    With a deep garnet color, our Pommard 1er Cru "Les Arvelets" offers an intense nose combining toasty, oaky and coffee notes. The mouth is rich with cherry and fruitstone aromas. There is a lot of freshness thanks to mentholated hints and a great persistency of the tannins.
