Tasting Profile
Aroma & Flavor
Prunier-Bonheur Pommard greets you with an expressive bouquet of ripe black cherry, dark plum, and wild strawberry, layered with hints of cinnamon, clove, and forest floor. The oak aging adds delicate notes of vanilla, toast, and spice.
Palate & Finish
Silky tannins glide across the palate, balanced by lively acidity. Flavors of blackcurrant, red licorice, and a touch of graphite lead to a long, elegant finish marked by subtle earthy undertones.
Winemaking & Terroir
Vineyard
Situated in the heart of Côte de Beaune, the Prunier-Bonheur estate benefits from limestone-rich soils and a favorable microclimate. Vines average 35 years of age, yielding grapes with concentrated flavor and refined structure.
Vinification
Hand-harvested and sorted, the grapes undergo traditional fermentation in stainless steel vats. The wine then matures for 12–14 months in French oak barrels (25% new) to enhance complexity and mouthfeel.
Food Pairing & Serving
Ideal Pairings
Elevate your dining experience by pairing this Pommard with roasted duck breast, lamb medallions, beef bourguignon, wild mushroom dishes, or a selection of fine Gruyère and Comté cheeses.
Serving Recommendations
Serve at 16–18 °C (60–65 °F) after decanting for 30–45 minutes. Use a large Bordeaux-style glass to allow the wine’s aromatic profile to fully develop.
