Get to know: Domaine Billard, Pommard 2023
Tasting Note
While still young, the 2023 Pommard from Domaine Billard hints at a bright future. Expect a well-balanced wine with vibrant red fruit flavours, including cherries and raspberries, underpinned by subtle earthy notes and minerality. With time, the oak aging will lend gentle spice and silky structure, showcasing the classic elegance of Pommard’s renowned terroir. This wine embodies Jérôme Billard’s commitment to expressing the unique character of the vineyard through organic, low-intervention winemaking. We recommend keeping this wine for 4-10 years before drinking. If you choose to open it earlier, decanting the wine for a few hours before serving could help soften its youthful tannins and allow the flavors to open up more fully.
This is a fantastic food wine that you could enjoy with Coq au Vin, lamb chops, vegetable casseroles or Époisses or Comté cheese for an authentic Burgundy eperience
