Technical notes

Grape variety: Pinot Noir

Terroir: Well-drained clay-limestone soils.

Pommards have a reputation of being highly tannic, full-bodied wines. This Premier Cru is doubtless one of the most elegant in the appellation. Though still tannic and full-bodied, the Bertins are very aromatic and flavoursome, even when young. These Pommards Premiers Crus have exceptional potential for laying down, often for more than 16 years

Best served: Steaks of beef, lamb, poultry stew. Works well with a selection of cheeses - Epoisses, Langres, Soumaintrain and Comté.

Serving temperature: 15°C
