2022 Francois Buffet, Pommard

The 2022 Francois Buffet Pommard is a powerful yet polished expression of Pinot Noir from one of the Côte de Beaune’s most respected villages. Rooted in a family history stretching back more than 300 years, it combines Pommard’s classic structure and depth with the finesse that defines the best Burgundy wines.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, this Pommard typically shows a deep ruby hue with youthful intensity. The nose is layered and expressive, offering dark cherry, earthy mineral notes, and subtle savory nuances that reflect its iron-rich origins. On the palate, it is firm and concentrated, with a muscular core of fruit framed by sturdy, well-integrated tannins. Despite its power, it remains refined and balanced, promising to evolve gracefully with time in bottle. This is a wine that should reward cellaring over the next several years, gaining complexity and softness as it matures.

Food & Serving

Serve at around 16-18°C, and consider decanting for 30-60 minutes if drinking young to help the wine open up and soften its tannins.
