Chateau De Pommard Clos Marey Monge Monopole 2019

Clos Marey-Monge, the largest monopole in Burgundy, is nestled at the base of the Pommard hillside. Protected by a two-metre-high stone wall, this vineyard benefits from a unique combination of soils, including limestone, clay, sand, and gravel. These diverse soils, shaped over millennia by the Avant-Dheune river, contribute to the complexity and depth of the wines produced here. Pommard, a historic appellation in the Côte de Beaune, is renowned for its powerful and elegant Pinot Noir.

This wine is crafted exclusively from Pinot Noir, expressing a balance of power, finesse, and complexity. The 2019 vintage is noted for its ripeness and fresh acidity, reflecting Burgundy's excellent conditions in that year. The wine showcases the terroir-driven style typical of high-quality Pommard, with potential for extended aging.

Hand-harvested grapes are meticulously sorted and de-stemmed before being transferred into stainless steel fermentation vats via gravity flow. The wine undergoes a long maceration with minimal intervention, including gentle pumping-over and punching-down to extract flavours. After fermentation, it is aged for 18 months in French oak barrels, with 20% new oak, to enhance complexity without overwhelming the delicate fruit.

With a brilliant ruby colour and purple undertones, the Clos Marey-Monge Monopole 2019 offers an aromatic nose of red fruit, dried flowers, and hints of pepper and earth. The palate is round, generous, and fresh, with silky tannins and a touch of sweetness. The finish is long and complex.

This wine pairs beautifully with duck breast, mushroom risotto, or roasted lamb. Its elegance also complements game dishes and rich sauces​. Serve at 16°C. Suitable for aging up to 25 years​.
