What is Cote de Beaune AOP?
this small appellation covers vineyards located above the northern sector of premiers crus, at an elevation of 300-370 meters. The appellation’s vineyards produce light red and white wines, not dissimilar from those of the Hautes Côtes de Beaune. The ATVB, Burgundy’s clonal research facility, owns the largest parcel in the area, a 20-hectare experimental vineyard.
Pommard produces what style of wine?
Red only.
Why does Pommard see fuller, sturdier, weightier wines? What goes up as consequence of this style?
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.
