Located a stone's throw from the centre of Pommard the "Clos des Ursulines" is a veritable haven of peace scattered with centuries-old pine trees… undoubtedly this tranquility appealed to the nuns at the Ursulines convent, who were the first owners of this vineyard. A monopole with a surface area of nearly 10 acres, this plot is located at the southern extremity of Pommard, towards Volnay. Its unique terroir belies the all-too-common belief that Pommard's wines are synonymous with a certain "masculine" character.

Deep nose combining scents of red and black fruit (cherry, blackcurrant, fig...), notes of flowers (violet, rose, peony...) and delicate nuances of oak and spices. These scents will evolve towards more animal and undergrowth notes over the years. The palate is full bodied, round and supported by ripe tannins. This powerful, structured wine remains subtle, elegant and silky, almost feminine due to the vineyard's proximity to Volnay. The finish is long and velvety.

Taste this wine with roasted or stewed meats (beef, duck, pork, game), or with medium to mature cheeses.
