Pommard La Chanière Maillard et Fils (Domaine) 2018

The wine

Located at the extremity of the Combe de Pommard, this climat produces a wine with a deep red hue, a subtle red berry bouquet and empyreumatic accents. On the palate, it delivers a pleasing harmony with delicate tannins which mellow over time, and a slightly roasted finish. This is an appealing wine to enjoy within 10 to 15 years.

About the Producer Maillard et Fils

The Maillard family has been part of Burgundy's viticultural scene since 1766. In 1952, Daniel Maillard, father to Pascal, decided to dedicate himself to this career, concentrating on enlarging the domain and growing cuvées in a way that respects the terroir and the soil. The domain has gone from 2 hectares to 19, shared across the areas of Aloxe-Corton, Pommard, Beaune, Ladoix-Serrigny, Chorey-les-Beaune, Meursault, Volnay, and Savigny-les-Beaune. In the vines and the winery alike, the methods are traditional, and all the cuvées are classed as grand cru in the regional appellation. They are worked meticulously, from the selection of the grapes to the vinification and the maturation in 228-litre oak barrels. If, one day, you have a chance to visit, don't miss out on going down into the cellar where a magnificent well serves as a tasting table. Overall, this one is a Burgundian bright spark still at pleasing prices.
