Domaine de Courcel, Pommard, Vaumuriens, Burgundy, France, 2019

Viticulture

The Vaumuriens is a village appellation of 1.44 hectares located just above the Rugiens. The white soil is not even half a metre deep and is north east facing. The vines are around 40 years of age and produces spicy wines with aromas leaning towards cassis and white fruits, such as mango.

Tasting Note

Fresh hints of menthol mingle with aromas of stewed plum, earthy warmth, and a touch of woodland. On the palate, it's smooth, lively, and flavourful with a silky texture and a clear mineral streak. The finish is dry and structured, but stays balanced and approachable.

Food Matching

Duck with plum sauce, roasted pork and root vegetables, grilled salmon and balsamic glaze.
