Côte de Beaune

A key wine-producing district of Burgundy in the east of France.

The Côte de Beaune area is the southern part of the Côte d'Or, the limestone ridge that is home to the great names of Burgundy wine. The Côte de Beaune starts between Nuits-Saint-Georges and Beaune, and extends southwards for about 25 km to the river Dheune. The trend of producing red wines continues from the Côte de Nuits to the north, down through Beaune, although the wines become lighter and more perfumed. Farther south lie the great names of white Burgundy such as Meursault and Chassagne-Montrachet.

Product Details

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.
