Pommard is on a slope, between 240 and 380 metres, facing east or south-east. Pommard can only be red. There are no grand cru wines. The quite clayey calcareous soil gives Pommard some quite original qualities, a lot of colours, deep red-black, an intense and pungent bouquet of blackcurrants, musk and game meat. The fermentation takes place in tanks during 3-4 weeks, after which they are aged in barrel for 12-15 months before being bottled.
