Pommard "Clos Bizot"

General
Grape Variety : Pinot Noir
Region           : France/Burgundy

Winemaking
The wines are barrelled for 15 to 20 months, according to vintage, in oak casks, of
which 20 to 40 % are new, with a variety of origins of wood : Tronçais, Nevers,
Vosges, Burgundy. Whilst the wine is maturing, it is regularly stirred up
(bâtonné), putting the lees back into suspension, bringing more fatness and
roundness. Racking takes place prior to bottling, with no fining, just light filtration,
preserving the natural riches of the appellation.

Tasting Notes
Pretty ruby red colour with a cherry hue. At first, its nose is delicately smoky and
woody, then evolves into notes of raspberry, plum and slight spiciness. The Palate
is beautifully soft with well blended but notable tannins, this wine shows some
lengthy mineral tastes on well structured plum fruit.

Food Pairing
It will accompany red meats, roast, grilled or stewed ; poultry, mild cheeses. Serve
at 17°C.
