21
Q

Why does Pommard see fuller, sturdier, weightier wines? What goes up as consequence of this style?

A

In comparison to Volnay, water flow and erosion have deposited a greater percentage of iron-rich clay on Pommard’s lower slopes, resulting in fuller-bodied, weightier, sturdier wines. Because of this weight, Pommard can support MORE NEW OAK than other red wines of the Côte de Beaune.
