Pommard Rouge

Pommard is known for red wines with vibrancy and substance—dark fruit, firm tannins, and a finish that lingers longer than expected. The 2023 vintage from Domaine Bertrand Bachelet clearly demonstrates this character: not a polished, showcase Burgundy, but a wine with character.

Bachelet is a small family-run winery in the Côte de Beaune with parcels in classic vineyard sites around Pommard. The region is known for its iron-rich, clay soils—this gives the wines their typical density and tannin structure, which develops beautifully over time in the cellar.

In the glass, the 2023 vintage displays blackberry and black cherry, along with a note of dark chocolate and a hint of earth in the background. The tannins are present but not harsh—they need a few more years to integrate. Good body, medium-length finish with a slightly spicy note.
