Product details
Xavier Monnot Pommard Les Vignots 2021 is a distinguished expression of Burgundy's esteemed terroir, crafted by Xavier Monnot, a sixth-generation winemaker dedicated to producing wines that reflect their origins with precision and balance. The "Les Vignots" vineyard, a south-facing lieu-dit situated on the upper slopes behind the village of Pommard, benefits from excellent sun exposure and well-draining limestone soils, contributing to the wine's concentration and depth. The 2021 vintage was produced using 100% Pinot Noir grapes from vines averaging 50 years in age, fermented with 10% whole clusters, and aged in 30% new French oak barrels. This meticulous approach results in a wine that combines the hallmark structure of Pommard with elegance and freshness.
On the nose, the wine offers aromas of dark cherry, blackberry, and crushed violets, layered with notes of earth, spice, and a touch of smoked tea. The palate is firm yet refined, with well-integrated tannins, bright acidity, and a long, mineral-driven finish. This bold and structured Pinot Noir pairs exceptionally well with rich dishes such as roasted game birds, grilled duck breast, and mushroom-based cuisine, making it a versatile choice for gourmet pairings.
