Q

Pommard is known for a heftier style of Pinot. Why?

Q

How might the style in Pommard be changing with climate change?

A

The heavier clay soils of Pommard, which typically retain more moisture, thus there is more water pumped into the leaves, resulting in more rustic tannins.

In the 3 vintage stretch of ‘18-‘20, these soils were dried out, and the tannins of Pommard wines showed much more refined.
