The aftertaste is also accompanied by mineral nuances from the gravel- and clay-dominated soils. Vinification of Joseph Drouhin Pommard The well-balanced Pommard from France is a varietal wine made from the Pinot Noir grape. The grapes grow under optimal conditions in Burgundy. Here, the vines drive their roots deep into soils of clay, gravel and marl. The Pommard is clearly also shaped by the climatic and stylistic factors of Côte de Beaune and Haute Côtes de Beaune. In the best sense of the word, this French wine can be described as an Old World wine, which presents itself in an exceptionally impressive way. After hand-picking, the grapes are quickly taken to the press house. There, they are selected and gently crushed. This is followed by fermentation in small oak barrels at controlled temperatures. After fermentation ends, the elegant Pommard is matured for another 16 months in oak barriques. Food recommendation for Joseph Drouhin Pommard Enjoy this red wine from France ideally at a temperature of 15 - 18°C as an accompanying wine to spaghetti with caper-tomato sauce, stuffed peppers or pasta with fried sausage dumplings.
